Drunken Goat Cheese: This Spanish cheese, a signature product of the village of Jumilla in the south-eastern portion of the country, is made exclusively from the milk of Murciana goats and is high in both fat and protein, which gives Drunken Goat its amazing creaminess.
With regard to the creation of Drunken Goat, this is aged goat’s cheese that is soaked in Doble Pasta — a local wine — for 72 hours before being aged for a further 75 days. Soaking the cheese in this manner does a few things, most notably, it gives the rind a stunning violet color that is unmatched, while on the palate the wine imparts a distinct tangy, sweet aroma and finish to this mild and creamy cheese.
Consider serving Drunken Goat with desserts or as an appetizer, accompanied by a bold Spanish red wine, such as Rioja.
