This cheese didn't just have a glass of wine; it went for a swim. Mitica Drunken Goat is a semi-soft goat cheese from Murcia, Spain, that has been bathed in Jumilla red wine for 48 to 72 hours. This gives it a stunning, deep-purple rind and a beautiful, floral aroma. But don't let the name fool you—it’s actually quite mild and creamy, with a fruity finish that completely eliminates the "tangy" funk usually associated with goat cheese. It is the most visually stunning cheese on any board. It’s the "introductory goat cheese" for people who think they don't like goat cheese. It’s colorful, fun, and looks incredibly sophisticated next to a glass of red. The Recipes Recipe #1: Drunken Goat & Fig Jam Panini Pair slices of this wine-washed cheese with sweet fig jam and prosciutto on a ciabatta roll. The fruitiness of the cheese and the fig are a match made in Mediterranean heaven. Recipe #2: The "Purple" Garden Salad Shave shards of Drunken Goat over a salad of mixed greens, fresh blackberries, and toasted almonds. It’s a vibrant, high-end salad that looks like it came from a five-star restaurant. Size: 4.5 lb. Origin: Spain
