Cana de Cabra is a soft ripened goat's milk cheese that is native to the Murcia region of Spain, aged for only 3-4 weeks. Murcia is a region renowned for its high quality of goat milk, and Cana de Cabra is one of the finest examples. It is similar to the French Bucheron.

Cana de Cabra is creamy and mild but has a full flavor. Tangy citrus notes balance the rich creaminess of the cheese and there's a hint of mushrooms as well. It is often presented sliced into thin rounds with a simple salad, fried or baked in a pastry.
