Mitica
| The Drunken Goat Reserva by Mitica, imported by Forever Cheese, is a 10-month-aged goat cheese from Murcia, Spain, made from high-fat, high-protein Murciana-Granadina goat milk. Its violet rind results from immersion in highly tannic, anthocyanin-rich Monastrell "Doble Pasta" wine, which also imparts complex flavors. Unlike the standard PDO cheese aged 2 months, the Reserva's extended affinage creates a firm, creamy, crystalline texture with nuanced sweet, nutty, and fruity notes, lacking typical "goaty" sharpness. Marketed as a premium connoisseur product in the US, it pairs well with specific beers, regional wines, and savory accompaniments. | |
