Central Moliterno al Tartufo, Black Truffle Cheese
This raw sheep’s milk cheese with black truffles comes fom the Italian island of Sardinia. Unlike most truffled cheeses, the truffle paste is infused after the Moliterno has been aged, resulting in a wonderfully balanced cheese. Though the truffles are only visible in “veins” running through the cheese, the truffle flavor permeates throughout the entire paste ofthe moliterno. Both delicious and intriguing visually, this cheese is a show-stopper. Enjoy this pecorino with a big, earthy Italian red with enough muscle to stand up to the truffles.
