Cabra Al Vino is an aged goat cheese with a boozy infusion as it is soaked in a red wine to bring the entire pairing together in one format. It is a classic Spanish cheese snack which soaks the cheese in the wine for 48-72 hours before it begins its aging process.
This takes about 3-5 months in total in order to create the delicate goat cheese and the tangy acidic taste. In terms of its texture, the cheese is rich and creamy with a slight fruity note due to the red wine. The Cabra Al Vino is from Marques Del Castillo and the suggested pieces should be half a pound.
