Drunken Goat Cheese

We had some people over to celebrate the ending of one year and the beginning of another. In addition to the robust meal she prepared, my wife also served a platter of assorted cheeses and crackers. As I picked through the sampler, I noticed the name on one of the cheeses said “Murcia Drunken Goat Cheese.” Of course I was instantly intrigued and filled with questions. The main one being, “Do they get the goat drunk before milking her, or does she do that on her own?”

I mean is the Murcia region of Spain filled with a whole population of alcoholic goats and the cheese companies decided to capitalize on their inebriated state to take the goats’ milk? I think maybe the goats are enjoying life a bit too much, and by extension now we can too! The cheese was actually very tasty.
