A Toast to Spanish Flavor: Murcia al Vino Goat Cheese & Grapes

There’s something truly special about the balance of creamy cheese, sweet fruit, and crunchy nuts — especially when it all comes together on a crisp slice of rustic bread. These toasts are a celebration of textures and flavors: tangy Murcia al Vino Goat Cheese , juicy roasted grapes, golden honey, and the delightful crunch of Finca la Rosala nuts.

We love this recipe for end-of-summer and fall gatherings, when ripe grapes are at their best and cozy get-togethers call for easy, elegant bites that pair perfectly with a glass of Spanish wine.

Ingredients (serves 4–6 toasts)

• 1 small baguette or rustic bread, sliced and lightly toasted

• 100 g Murcia al Vino Goat Cheese, shaved or crumbled

• 1 cup red or black grapes, halved

• 1–2 tbsp honey (preferably floral or light amber)

• 2 tbsp chopped nuts of your liking — pistachios are our favorite:

  • Pistachio Orange by Finca la Rosala for a citrusy, gourmet twist 

  • Salted Pistachios with Truffle for an elegant, savory touch 

• Fresh thyme or basil leaves for garnish

• Optional: a light drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Gran Selección | Diosas de Abril

Instructions

1. Toast the bread
   Slice the baguette or rustic loaf and toast until golden and crisp on the edges.

2. Add the cheese
   Arrange crumbled or shaved Murcia al Vino Goat Cheese over each toast. This semi-firm cheese, cured in red wine, brings a rich, slightly tangy note with hints of fruit and earthiness.

3. Top with grapes
   Place halved grapes over the cheese, gently pressing them down so they stay in place.

4. Drizzle and sprinkle
   Drizzle a touch of honey and finish with chopped nuts for texture and contrast. We love combining Finca la Rosala Pistachio Orange for a bright, citrusy flavor with Salted Pistachios with Truffle for a gourmet, aromatic finish.

5. Garnish and serve
   Add fresh thyme or basil leaves and, if desired, a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy while the bread is still warm and crisp.

Perfect For

A crowd-pleasing appetizer that feels sophisticated yet effortless — ideal for brunches, dinner parties, or wine and cheese nights. These toasts bring together the warmth of Spanish tradition and the freshness of the season, making them perfect for late-summer evenings and cozy fall gatherings.

Pair with a chilled Albariño or a fruity Rioja rosado, and let each bite transport you to the vineyards of Spain. 🍷
