Drunken Goat Cheese: The Spanish Cheese Soaked in Red Wine
Drunken goat cheese, or Murcia al Vino, is a Spanish cheese made from pasteurised goat's milk. The cheese is primarily made in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain, where it has a protected designation of origin (DOP) status. Its unique flavour comes from the fact that it is soaked in red wine during the ageing process, which gives it a distinctive purple rind and a slightly sweet taste with a tangy finish. It is often served as an appetiser or dessert, paired with a glass of red wine, and is considered a delicacy by many. Drunken goat cheese has also gained popularity outside of Spain due to the developed interest in artisanal cheeses and unique flavours.
