In the heart of La Mancha, where cheesemaking tradition merges with a passion for quality, Olmeda Orígenes brings you its Aged Manchego Cheese. This cheese, with Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P.), has been carefully matured for 12 months to offer a unique experience that reflects the effort and dedication of its artisans.
Crafted in our cheesery in Madridejos (Toledo), Olmeda Orígenes’ aged Manchego cheese is the result of a perfect combination of Manchega sheep’s milk and the know-how of a family that has passed down the art of cheesemaking for generations.
Each bite is a tribute to Manchego heritage.

The 12-month maturation allows the cheese to develop a deeper flavor and firmer texture, making it ideal for lovers of intense, complex flavors.
