Murcia al Vino
This very attractive looking cheese with its pale almost translucent paste and beautiful red/maroon rind promises much.
 Murcia al Vino Spanish made, it looks, in some ways, similar to a Manchego, but made with goat’s milk and washed in red wine. This leads to high expectations, but sadly these are not met. It has surprisingly little flavour. Slightly goaty, slightly reminiscent of Manchego, but mainly dull and tasteless like a Provolone. The only exciting bit is the rind which has a slightly perfumed flavour. |
