This Goat Milk Cheese is soaked in Doble Pasta (a traditional Spanish method of preparing wine) made from Monastrell grapes. After being aged for two whole months, the cheese soaks up the flavor of wine and gains a touch of fruity finish. Mild and smooth, drunken goat milk cheese has a creamy texture and acidic aroma. This cheese has a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, which means trained artisans made it in the province of Murcia in Spain, only using milk from local Murciana goats that graze freely. The milk of Murciana goats is renowned for its rich sweet flavor.
Wine-soaked cheese has a long tradition around the world. Legend has it that during World War I when Austro-Hungarian forces came looting in Treviso, Italy, inhabitants hid their cheese in wine barrels. Trevigiani supposedly found after the looters had fled that they had created a culinary marvel. While no one knows if discovering wine-soaked cheese was as romantic as legend has it, "drunken cheese" remains a genuinely Mediterranean, best-of-both-worlds delicacy. You can find the world's best Murcian cheese in our curated collection at Yummy Bazaar.
