Montesinos Murcial al Vino D.O.P Reviews

Montesinos Murcia al Vino cheese is made from pasteurised goat’s milk from the Murciano-Granadina breed of goat and is bathed in local red wine from Jumilla. Murciano goats are the oldest goat breed in Spain, which is well adapted to the hot climate of Murcia and likes to feed on the grazing of wild herbs. The cheese is only aged for 2 months to produce a creamy and lightly sweet goat cheese, which is then washed with red wine. This gives the Murcia al Vino its deep red bark and a light wine aroma, which makes its unique taste. It has a creamy and elastic texture, with a slightly salty and acidic taste, accompanied by the mild aromatic aroma of red wine. This creamy goat cheese has a Protected Designation of Origin status (P.D.O.) and goes well with aromatic white wines. We do not recommend eating the rind. 2.5Kg Piece / Once opened, keep it well wrapped and store between 4°C and 8°C / 1 year shelf life.

This is a very nice fresh cheese, mild and not very goaty. The texture is similar to jarlseberg but the white saltiness reminds me of feta. The wine wash shouldn't put you off it's mainly for a nice colour I think. It also toasts very well.

Excellent brie. Slightly firmer in texture, and milder flavour in comparison to French or British version. Will order again for sure.
