[edit] (semi)curado
Manchego is available in three different states of maturity: Fresh (fresco), 3-4 months old (curado), or matured for one year (viejo).
Other sources seem to say it's semicurado up to six months and curado thereafter. Anyone know for sure? Flapdragon 02:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lobster Taste
Does this cheese have a slight tinge of lobster to it, or is it just me? Thanks. - MSTCrow 03:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't get lobster, just a little lamb. If I did, I'd like it a lot more. All in all, I find it pretty underwhelming considering how much I've heard about it lately. 69.85.180.112 21:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I could see where you might have perceived a lobster taste, --and only after I tasted it while thinking of lobster so it might have been a false association. As for the "underwhelming" comment: I only think underwhelming might apply if the tongue was expecting a distinct taste. I find the taste of this great cheese as very complex and as such I would advise people to enjoy it with a clean palate and mild accompaniments. Cheers! Anthronify 04:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
