Gateway Cheese™:
Manchego
Flavor
Approachable
Intense
Each Gateway Cheese™ is a jumping-off point. It’s a cheese with specific flavor and texture associations, and it ushers you into a larger group of cheeses that share these qualities. The point of a Gateway Cheese™ is to take a common, familiar cheese and use it to discover less common, less familiar cheeses. Every Gateway Cheese™ introduces a spectrum of flavors, from approachable to intense, shared by all the cheeses in the group.
