Sheep milk cheese with black truffle.
On the day of its production, the truffle aroma permeates every corner of the cheese factory, making it one of the cheeses with the strongest aromatic power, along with blue cheese.
A gourmet cheese that will awaken all your senses.
TASTING NOTES
With a medium-high aromatic intensity, highlighting earthy, cave, mold, and mushroom olfactory notes.
On the palate, there are aromatic notes of caramel and coffee, cooked milk, and a slight hint of nutmeg.
Slightly granular, dry, mouth-soluble, with very mild saline and citrus notes, and high persistence on the palate.
PAIRING
Despite its strong truffle aroma, it is not an excessively aggressive cheese on the palate, so pairing it with red wine is usually a good choice.
