OUR PRODUCER

Don Apolonio

Castilla-La Mancha, Spain

From the heart of the Spanish plateau, Don Apolonio crafts sheep's-milk cheeses that carry the flavour of La Mancha — patient, honest and rooted in a family tradition of cheese-making.

Matured in red wine in the cellars of La Mancha

The Curing

As the cheese ages, its rind is repeatedly washed with Spanish red wine, which slowly soaks into the paste. The result is a striking wine-stained rind and a gentle, fruit-forward depth that runs beneath the savoury richness of the sheep’s milk.

The Raw Ingredient

The base is a wheel of pure Manchega sheep’s-milk cheese — rich, buttery and savoury. It is the ideal canvas for the red wine that will slowly work its way in during maturation.

Perfecte combinaties

Deze kaas rijpt in rode wijn, dus rode wijn is zijn natuurlijke partner — een echo van de druif die hem vormde.

  • Tempranillo (Rioja / Ribera) — Dezelfde druivenfamilie die de korst wast, voor een naadloze combinatie.
  • Garnacha — Sappig rood fruit en warmte die de in wijn gedrenkte kaas weerspiegelen.
  • Jonge, op hout gerijpte rode — Zachte tannines en een vleugje vanille die de fruitige afdronk optillen.

Castilla-La Mancha, Spain

The Land

Nowhere else could this cheese be born. The high plateau of La Mancha — its dry air, its fierce light and its native Manchega flocks — gives these cheeses a depth of flavour that simply cannot be copied.
