Pecorino Con Tartufo
Sheep’s milk cheese with truffle.
A pale yellow, soap bar shaped cheese dotted with bits of black truffle.
This is fairly young, soft and creamy compared with unflavoured pecorino. The flavour is also quite mild, but this is a good thing. Too strong and it would overpower the flavour of the truffle. It is delightfully creamy with a wonderful truffle flavour.
Delicious! A delightful and different addition to any cheese board.
Purchased from Cheese Please, Lewes.
