Nutrition facts
.

Manchego cheese is a very complete food, a real concentrate of all fine nutritional milk qualities.

It has a high proportion of proteins. In fact, it is even richer in proteins than meat.

Manchego cheese also has such important vitamins as A, D and E, which are fundamental to metabolic processes such as growth, tissue preservation and calcium absorption.

Because of its ingredients, manchego cheese is a recommended food for people of all ages. For children, manchego cheese's high calcium content is a plus. For adults, the large amount of proteins helps replace the daily expenditure of these vital substances. Lastly, manchego cheese is a great food for seniors, because it goes far to reduce bone calcium loss and it is easier to digest than milk.
