Details
Campo de Montalbán is a pasteurized, semi-firm, three-milk cheese (cow, goat, sheep) from La Mancha, Spain. It closely resembles Manchego in appearance with a brown, striped rind, but offers a creamier, more complex, buttery, and slightly nutty flavor, aged for at least 90–100 days.
Key Details:
* Milk Blend: Typically 60% cow, with the rest a mix of goat and sheep.

* Origin: La Mancha, Spain (produced by Quesos Corcuera).
