The unique award-winning wine cheese from Murcia
The Queso de Murcia al Vino is a true delicacy from the sun-drenched Murcia region in southeastern Spain. This cheese is exclusively made from the rich, pasteurized milk of the Murciano-Granadina goat. What makes this cheese truly special is the ripening process. The cheeses are immersed and washed several times in local, powerful red wine (such as Jumilla or Yecla). This gives the cheese its striking purple-red rind and the popular nickname 'Drunken Goat'. Moreover, this fantastic cheese was awarded a bronze medal at the World Cheese Awards 2025-2026!
During ripening, the subtle, fruity aroma of the wine penetrates the cheese, without the taste of the alcohol dominating. The dairy of the cheese is beautifully white with a supple and creamy texture. The taste is mild, slightly salty and fresh, with the characteristic soft flavor of goat's milk and a wonderfully fruity, floral finish. It is the perfect cheese for a Spanish tapas board, beautifully combined with almonds, olives, fresh grapes and of course a good glass of Spanish red wine.

Frequently Asked Questions about Queso de Murcia al Vino
Does this cheese taste strongly of wine or alcohol?
No, the cheese does not taste strongly of alcohol. The red wine is used to wash the rind, which gives the cheese a beautiful floral and slightly fruity aroma. The alcohol itself largely evaporates during the ripening process, so the taste is nicely balanced and absolutely not dominant.
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
No, this cheese is made from pasteurized goat's milk. The milk has been heated, killing unwanted bacteria. This makes the cheese completely safe to eat, even for pregnant women.
Can I eat the purple-red rind?
The rind is theoretically edible because it has been washed with wine, but can be somewhat hard or intense in flavor due to the ripening process. Many people therefore prefer to cut the rind away before serving, depending on personal preference.
