Queso de Murcia

Queso de Murcia is a pasteurized goat's milk cheese from the Murcia region of Spain. Its name translates to "drunken goat," referring to the red-wine bath the cheese receives, which imparts a distinct purple rind and a fruity flavor. The semi-hard, ivory-white pâte has a creamy taste. The rind, characteristic of the red wine baths during maturation, gives the cheese its unique appearance. Queso de Murcia is enjoyed with beer or wine or fruits and nuts.
