Murcia al Vino

It was hot and I wanted a light cheese that I could enjoy with some white wine. The Concord Cheese Shop suggested Murcia al Vino. It is a wine soaked goat cheese with a light, bright flavor.

Murcia cheese is a Protected Designation of Origin product from Spain and the only European goat cheese soaked in red wine. The cheese is washed in wine during the 30-45 day ripening. The result is a beautiful garnet rind surrounding a pristine white cheese. The texture is firmer than the average goat cheese, and the flavor is mild and slightly sweet.

At The Cheese Shop, it runs a reasonable $24.99 per pound. Its mild flavor makes it accessible to a wide range of palates, and the beautiful, edible rind makes it interesting enough that cheese enthusiasts will enjoy it.
