Murcia Al Vino - Drunken Goat - goat's milk semi soft cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Spain.

The unique feature of this cheese is that it is washed in red wine during ripening. The wine deeply tints the cheese, giving the rind its characteristic burgundy color and imparting a strong floral bouquet. This wine soaked cheese is a real gem.

Gres des Vosges - cow's milk soft cheese - 4 oz/125 gr, France.
The Gres des Vosges is very popular among the lovers of Munster cheese. The rich soil in the Alsace region is a very favourable environment for the cherry trees to grow their juicy cherries. Many farmers in that region make a wonderful kirsch Spirit from these fruits. The Gres des Vosges au Kirsch Spirit is matured in three steps. During the first 3 weeks, the cheeses are washed with light saltwater twice a week. During the next 3 weeks the cheeses are refined with a melange of water and kirsch Spirit. Shortly before they are delivered, the cheeses are once again washed with kirsch Spirit, which further intensifies the flavour and creates a fruity scent.
