| Queso de Murcia al Vino, trademarked as The Drunken Goat®, is a semi-soft goat cheese from Murcia, Spain, created in 1986 to promote the Murciano-Granadina goat breed's milk and regional wine. It features high-fat, rich milk processed by washing the curd to reduce acidity. The cheese's violet rind results from immersion in Monastrell Doble Pasta wine, imparting aroma and preservative qualities. Its mild, creamy flavor appeals broadly. Protected by PDO standards, it is expertly branded and exported by Forever Cheese to the U.S. It pairs well with regional wines and beers, offering versatility in culinary uses and a notable nutritional profile. | |
