Rosemary's Baby

Rosemary is a symbol of loyalty, friendship and fidelity. It is also my favorite herb, one that reminds me of the Mediterranean. I love rosemary on just about anything from steak to fish to chicken and especially, cheese! So it is no surprise that I have found true love with this cheese, known as, Cabra al Romero. A firm goat milk cheese, Cabra al Romero is smothered in rosemary giving the paste a well balanced herbaceous flavor with a lemon finish. The texture is smooth, soft and almost clay like, making it really hard to have just one small piece. It is reminiscent of the Murica al Vino and with good reason. Cabra al Romero is made in La Mancha, Spain by Lorenzo, the same maker of the Murica al Vino. This relatively new cheese should be enjoyed with a lighter red wine, such as a Pinot Noir. I have definitely found a new friend that I plan on staying true and loyal to.
