How to Make Wine Soaked Cheese - (AKA Drunken Cow Cheese)

Attention wine and cheese lovers! This cheese is for you! Wine and cheese are a perfect pairing, so why not combine them? There is a story about this drunken cheese- Italian cheese makers needed to hide their precious inventory from hungry soldiers during WW1. They found a seemingly unlikely hiding place for their cheese in their wine barrels! After months of soaking, and the departing of the soldiers from the region the cheese makers found a delightful surprise in their casks, and drunken cow cheese was born.

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to make cheese, this is a great place to start. This cheese doesn’t require a cheese cave, and it is ready to devour in as little as two weeks, so it won’t take long to enjoy it. Friends and family will be amazed at your cheese making skills!
