| The Marbled Goat Espelette is a semi-hard, pasteurized goat milk cheese from Murcia, Spain, featuring internal marbling of French PDO Piment d'Espelette pepper. Made from milk of the Murciano-Granadina breed, the cheese undergoes 6 months aging using animal rennet, ensuring firm texture and complex savory flavor. The pepper adds a warm, fruity spice without harsh heat. Its creamy texture results from fine goat milk fat globules and careful moisture control. Pasteurization guarantees safety for export, while the cheese's unique blend of Spanish dairy tradition and Basque spice reflects a trans-border culinary heritage, trademarked by Forever Cheese. | |
