Murcia al Vino PDO

About this item

Murcia Al Vino is sometimes known in the United States as ‘Drunken Goat.’ That’s because each wheel of Murciana goat cheese is bathed in Monastrell doble pasta wine. The cheese is aged around 45 days, keeping the texture semi-soft and supple.

The flavor is mild, with a cultured yogurt tang and slight sweetness from the wine. There’s no ‘goatiness’ to speak of, making it a perfect gateway cheese for folks who don’t normally go for goat cheese. And you are encouraged to eat the rind, its part of the full tasting experience!

Awarded by the European Union, PDO - Protected Designation of Origin- means that a cheese is made in a specific place, by specific, time honored methods. 

Murcia al Vino is approachable and plays well with others. Great for large gatherings and tapas nights.
