Product Details

Location

Pecorino Al Tartufo comes from the beautiful Tuscany region in Italy. This area is famous for its rich culinary history and high-quality dairy products. The rolling hills, olive groves, and lush pastures of Tuscany create the perfect environment for producing exceptional cheeses. Pecorino Al Tartufo is made with care and expertise, showcasing the region’s deep-rooted tradition of fine cheesemaking.

Tasting

Pecorino Al Tartufo is a supple and delicate cheese that combines the bold flavours of truffles with the mild, creamy taste of Pecorino. The cheese contains finely grated Scorzone and Bianchetto truffles, which infuse the curds with their rich, earthy aroma. The result is a perfect balance between the sweetness of the cheese and the deep, musky truffle notes. As the cheese matures, the flavour intensifies, becoming more pronounced with each passing day. The texture is smooth and creamy, making it a pleasure to eat whether served as slices, crumbled over a dish, or paired with other foods. Its subtle sweetness and earthy truffle flavour create a harmonious tasting experience that is both elegant and indulgent.

Pairing

Elevate your enjoyment by pairing Pecorino Al Tartufo with Barolo or Pinot Noir wines. The mushroom and umami notes in the cheese complement the wine perfectly, creating a symphony of flavours that brings out the best in both. This heavenly combination of earthy truffles, delicate cheese, and exceptional wines offers a truly unforgettable gastronomic experience.

Recipe

Enjoy Pecorino Al Tartufo on its own, grated over pasta, or melted into gourmet dishes. For an indulgent treat, pair it with fresh bread, figs, or honey, and let the truffle-infused flavours elevate your culinary creations.
