La Oveja Negra Manchego is made from milk produced by a heritage breed of black Manchega sheep that graze the certified-organic Parra family vineyard in La Mancha, central Spain. The black sheep (oveja negra) were the original Manchega breed that had been phased out in the 1970’s, in favour of a slightly larger, white variant that produced more milk. Matured for at least six months, the medium- mature,“Curado” cheeses have a compact texture and more intense flavour than their younger brothers do.
