My first Manchego

[ashummel]

This was my first attempt at Manchego from RC book. This was at five days. The taste was mild and creamy with the rind having much more flavor. I suppose i'll let it sit for acouple months its going to be hard though.

That's quite a nice rind for only 5 days. I like my manchego best at about 6 to 9 months.

Thank you. I had planned on waiting at least 3 months, but the urge was too strong. I'll just let it dry for a couple hours and vac-pac  them separately and try them at different stages to get a feel for the transformation of the flavor.

Good way to determine what you like best. I tend to like sharp cheeses.
