Located in: Cheese, Spain

Murcia, a Spanish Queso de Cabra, is produced in the Murcia region. Murcia's rich variety of grasses, shrubs, and abundant wild herbs give this cheese a taste and aroma that could only come from the Spanish heartland. One could never imagine the harsh climate of the Spanish interior could produce much at all, let alone such an extraordinary cheese. Its distinctive lemony-peppery flavor and supple satiny body have earned Murcia a place among Spain's elite cheeses.

Made from pasteurized goat's milk.

I would never have guessed this is goat

By Allison

from Broomfield, CO on 3/5/2007

Pros:

Creamy, Delicate, Flavorful

Comments about Murcia:

This is unlike any other goat cheese I've ever tried. It has a semi-soft texture like Monterrey Jack or Havarti, and a flavor that isn't far off from those either. I forgot what I bought when I opened the package and guessed that it was sheepsmilk cheese. Now that I've looked it up I can taste goat faintly, but this is not remotely like Montrachet.

It is mild and creamy with a nutty aftertaste. It would not offend anyone's sensibilities, but it's not a distinctive cheese either.
