Murcian wine cheese

The cheese is made only from unpasteurized goats’ milk of the Murcian breed from registered herds.

The term al vino refers to the washing of the rind with red wine during maturation.

Murcian wine cheese is coloured white to light cream and has a compact and elastic texture.

[1][2] Smooth and thin, it has a purplish-red colour as a consequence of the baths in red wine during maturation.

[1] As with many harder Spanish cheeses it is eaten sliced as a snack with beer or wine, or else as part of a meal with fruit or nuts.
