Words from The French Pantry
Words from The French Pantry
In 1986, cheesemakers in Murcia set out to craft a unique regional cheese with strong commercial appeal. They began with a traditional local goat cheese and soaked it in Doble Pasta, a robust red wine from the region, for three days. The outcome was a remarkable success—both in flavor and in the market—bringing recognition and investment to the area.
Aged for approximately 75 days, this semi-soft cheese offers a smooth, subtly sweet taste. Known in the U.S. as Drunken Goat®, it was the first Queso de Murcia al Vino DOP to be imported and is made from the highest-quality Murcian goat's milk. Its rind, tinted a striking violet hue, is as visually distinctive as its flavor.
Note about your cheese
Note about your cheese
• Shipping : cheese is shipped in a triple-layer box liner with insulation and ice packs, providing up to 48 hours of protection.
Due to the specialized packaging and expedited shipping required, cheese does not qualify for free shipping. However, adding non-perishable products to your cart will grant you access to free shipping for those items.
Please note that we ship from Monday to Thursday (Cutoff Time : 11AM PT) for 1-day delivery, to avoid any weekend delays.
Cheese is shipped as a fresh (not frozen) product.
• Refrigeration : Keep cheese wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, then place it in an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the fridge at 2-6°C (36-43°F) to maintain freshness.
• Serving Temperature : Bring to room temperature (30-60 min) before serving for the best flavor and texture.
• Mold & Safety : Mold does not necessarily mean you need to throw away your cheese!
- Hard Cheeses : If mold appears, simply cut away at least 1 inch around and below the moldy area. The rest of the cheese is safe to eat.
- Soft Cheeses : If mold appears on soft cheeses, it's recommended to discard the entire piece, as the mold may spread beyond the visible area.
• Always inspect your cheese carefully, and if you have any doubts about its safety, refer to the USDA guidelines or contact us for more information.
• Shelf Life : Soft cheeses last about 1-2 weeks, while hard cheeses can last 3-6 weeks if stored properly.
