How Spanish Manchego Cheese Is Made At A 200-Year-Old Dairy | Regional Eats
Manchego cheese is made in a part of Spain that is called La Mancha, which is just south of Madrid. Evidence of cheesemaking in this region dates to the Bronze Age. We visited Finca La Granja, a fifth-generation family farm that’s been making cheese since the 19th century. The dairy makes about 65 wheels of manchego cheese per day.

@Combee YT as a fellow Spanish guy, I can tell you it's always been translated to english as Don Quixote since the very first translations back in the XVII century so there's nothing wrong for a english speaking person to say it that way, plus it was actually spelled with an 'x' rather than a 'j' in the early spanish editions since it was still common to use the x that way back in the Siglo de Oro, as you would know if you read the original edition or some books or poems from that time. About the other topic, La Mancha is an historical region inside Castilla-La Mancha, and that's how it was called in Cervantes' times, long before the XIXth and XXth centuries divisions that we know nowadays, so it's only correct to say it that way. Before correcting someone, please get informed

Another great video. Thank you so much for doing these! As a home cheese maker I learn so much from seeing the details. I was really blown away by how firm they let the curd get before cutting it. And then only 4 hours in the press! It's very, very different than what I expected from the production of Manchego.
I love how everyone is lusting after Gabriel 😂

It’s all down to preference really, what makes one person happy can make another sad or miserable with their life. Some people prefer the big city because they simply like the Urban landscape or the higher pay they can get from jobs their. Maybe it’s the amount of people that are there and the person who prefers city life is a more extroverted type of person. It’s understandable why you like the country side though, the views can be really pretty and the peace and quiet is an attractive atmosphere for those who prefer such an environment. Also, not all city food is big chain food. A lot of restaurants in the big city are actually of incredibly high quality using imports of the most natural and elusive foods such as the cheese in the video above. It all depends on the restaurant your going to, cities have a diverse environment of many different people from many different backgrounds, and needless to say, fast food isn’t the only thing on the menu for us younger generations. Though, it’s easy to stereotype us as such. We’re just as different from each other and diverse as some older generation people, not all of us prefer iPhones . I apologize if this came off as rude or as me taking offense, but I felt the need to clear the idea that all of us are fast food addicted and obsessed with iPhones. However you most likely wrote your comment with good intentions, and as I stated earlier the appeal of the country side is attractive. Though those are some of the reasons some young people prefer to live in cities.

Because cities often give people a higher quality of life, depending on their resources. If you have a medical condition, you’re more likely to find a specialist in a city. Are you part of a minority of some kind? There’s probably a community of people like you. Plus, rural areas are notoriously underfunded, and underserved. At least, these are all problems in the US. People also tend to leave because small towns can be harder on people who aren’t like their neighbors. It’s why so many in the LGBT community leave their small towns.

Binge watching cheese insider. They all look so yummy!
My favorite cheese. I loved 12-month aged Manchego with a glass of red wine. 25 grams, or an ounce or two was perfect. Then I got an opportunity to live in Spain and started eating the 6-month aged Manchego and now prefer it and have 40 grams or 2-3 ounces pretty much daily. Thank you Trader Joe's.
Beautiful! Hermoso!
No hay ninguna controversia. El queso Manchego tiene denominación de origen La Mancha. Su sabor, textura, olor y todo lo bueno que tiene, se debe al lugar de donde es originario, a la hierva y forraje manchego que han comido esas ovejas,es como el buen jamón, son productos ibéricos y en otros países y continentes se puede hacer algo llamado “ al estilo manchego, en este caso” y podrá estar muy bueno, no lo dudo, pero no dejará nunca de ser una imitación, los sabores tanto del jamón ibérico como del queso manchego son sabores genuinos ibéricos, se pueden imitar, pero nunca serán lo mismo.
Incredible.
When you have this in Toledo with jamon iberico de bellota y vino tinto…..BUENASO!
This factory is great!
For some reason I'm so intrigued in watching this channel and all the cheese that's made all around the world. I would love to try wheel or at least a slice. Lol.
I'm from Castilla La Mancha and it really surprised me to see this video on recommendations, I really didn't know foreigners know about Manchego cheese, I thought it was only known in Spain. Also, I don't know in other places but in my town we also make manchego cheese with olive oil, and it's absolutely delicious!
