Surrounded by vineyards, fallows and oak groves, is the small village of Pulgar, situated in the mountains of Toledo, in the region of La Mancha.

The ancient cheese-making tradition of this small village of hardly 1,200 inhabitants has made it famous in far-reaching places thanks to its excellent cheeses. Esperanza del Castillo's cheeses have been produced since 1952, claiming to have one of the best cheese-making traditions of the area.

We can distinguish three varieties of Manchego cheese:

	Old Manchego D.O., elaborated with 100 % of pasteurized milk from Manchega sheep, with a maturation from 10 to 12 months. Pieces of approximately 3 kilos.
	Mature Manchego D.O., elaborated with 100 % of pasteurized milk from Manchega sheep, with a maturation from 6 to 7 months. Pieces of approximately 3 kilos.
	Young Manchego D.O., elaborated with 100 % of pasteurized milk from Manchega sheep, with a maturation of 3 months. Pieces of approximately 3,2 kilos.
