In terms of the exterior appearance, it has a lattice on the flat sides and lines that divide it into four parts. Its colour is natural and depending on its curing time, it has different shades that may vary from ivory to brown.

Also, an authentic Manchego cheese incorporates on the back of the cheese the casein tab recognizing its Denomination of Origin.
