Moliterno al Tartufo Cheese

Moliterno al Tartufo Cheese

Sardinian sheep’s milk cheese with black summer truffle ribbons — Italy

Unlike most truffle cheeses, this pecorino is allowed to develop its own rich, buttery character first. After the initial aging, a paste of black summer truffles is injected into the wheel, creating striking dark ribbons that perfume every slice without overwhelming the sheep’s milk. The result is approachable yet adventurous: nutty, savory, and decadent, with a semi-firm to firm paste that slices cleanly and melts beautifully.

Serve with a drizzle of acacia honey on sea-salt crackers, shave over pasta or risotto, or add to a charcuterie board with full-bodied red wine.
