Published by at under Wine Gourmet

The art of bathing cheeses in wine, long perfected in Italy, is now enticing cheese makers worldwide. This fantastic collection offers selections from Argentina, Spain and Italy that are all truly world-class. Ubriaco al Fragola Clinto is a medium aged "Latteria" cheese rubbed with the must of 2 local grape varieties, giving it a wonderfully fruity aroma and sweet, satisfying flavor. Malbec Wine Sheep Cheese, made by La Carlota del Monte, outside of Buenos Aires, is made only from pure sheep's milk. Malbec is a traditional "Bordeaux varietal" originating in the Southwest of France. Murcia al Vino is a delicious wine-bathed cheese made from pasteurized goat's milk in the Murcia region of Spain. This region has a rich variety of grasses, shrubs, and wild herbs on which the goats graze to give the cheese a distinctive taste and aroma. It is washed in red wine during ripening to deeply tint the cheese, giving the rind its characteristic burgundy color and imparting a strong floral bouquet. Packaged in an attractive box ready for gifting. Let the cheese come to room temperature before serving. Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value. Total weight: 1.5 lbs.
