Factory La Casearia Carpenedo in northern Italy's Treviso dunks and soaks its cheese wheels in wine as part of the cheese's refinement process.
Their cheese is called "Ubriaco," which literally translates into "drunken" cheese.
We visited the factory to find out more about how it's made.
It all starts with a pasteurised cow’s milk cheese wheel which is used as a base. This kind of cheese is made specifically for the factory to "get drunk" in wine.
Entire cheese wheels are dipped and washed in wine pressings and then left to age in the wine. Some cheese wheels can soak for up 150 days. The entire process can take up to 2.5 years, depending on how long the cheese wheels are left to age before and after they are soaked in wine.
The factory makes 15 types of drunken cheese soaked in different wines: red, white, and even Prosecco, which is typical of Veneto (Treviso's region). The most popular is "Ubriaco di Raboso" made with a local wine.
The "Ubriaco" was born in 1976, but the process dates to the years of World War I, when local farmers used to hide cheese from hungry soldiers in barrels of wine.
The Carpenedo family perfected the technique and opened the factory, making over 20,000 wheels per year. They export all over the world and also have a stall at Borough Market in London.
An entire cheese wheel costs from €100 to €200 (£87-175.)

This shows one of two things, either an incredible ignorance or an anti- Italianate sentiment. Given your brusque response, probably both. But hey, you’re free to be both.

@@bre6713 First of all it's an infuriatingly condescending, holier-than-thou comment. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but why on earth should it be bad for your health (unless you eat a ton of it)? Second, what other motive would there be for someone named "Sohaib Ahmed" to say that about a cheese soaked in wine (=alcohol=haram)? Of course I made an assumption when I wrote that, but I seriously doubt that he's a doctor with an informed opinion. Might even be involuntary, but to me that looks like a regurgitation of mindless religious propaganda.

drinking too much alcohol is bad, but I don't think a cheese soaked in alcohol will have the same effect as drinking alcohol.
