Pecorino con Tartufo Italian Sheep's Milk Cheese 1 lb

Pecorino con Tartufo is a premium, semi-firm Italian sheep's milk cheese, aged 3–6 months, featuring a savory, nutty, and slightly tangy base studded with aromatic black truffles. This indulgent, earthy cheese offers a distinct truffle aroma and creamy texture, making it ideal for cheese boards, shaving over risotto, or pairing with bold red wines. Key Features and Details: * Origin: Primarily from Central Italy (Tuscany, Umbria) or Sardinia. * Ingredients: Pasteurized or raw sheep’s milk, black truffle, rennet, and salt. * Flavor Profile: The intense, earthy, and garlicky flavor of black truffles balances perfectly with the sweet, nutty, and salty notes of the sheep's milk cheese. * Texture: Firm to semi-soft, sometimes crumbly, with visible specks of black truffle throughout. * Usage: Best served at room temperature on a cheeseboard, paired with honey, walnuts, or shaved over pastas, omelets, and risotto. * Pairing: Pairs well with robust red wines like Chianti or Barolo.  Typically sold in wedges (commonly in 1/2 lb, 1 lb, or 1.5 lb increments) or sometimes as small, whole "piccolo" wheels.
