Imported Sottocenere Al Tartufo Cheese 12 lb.

Details

Serve a flavorful, one-of-a-kind Italian cheese that is sure to wow guests with this imported sottocenere al tartufo cheese! Crafted in the Veneto region of Italy, this cow's milk cheese is a truffle-inspired cheese with salty, savory notes due to all of the unique flavor elements used in its creation. To create its decadent flavor, black truffles are added to the interior of this cheese, then the rind is rubbed with aromatic spices like nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel, and is then coated in ash before it begins the aging process. Aged at least 3 months, this cheese develops its semi-soft texture, earthy flavor, and complex aroma. After it is aged, green leaves are attached to the rind for a pop of color that indicates authenticity.

With its intricate flavor profile, this cheese is best served as part of a specialty cheese plate featuring other Italian delicacies like burrata, prosciutto, salami, coppa, flavorful olives, and crostini. Pair this cheese with sparkling, Lambrusco, or Barbera wine for a delicious meld of flavors. This cheese also possesses superior melting qualities, making it a great way to add salty, truffle flavor and creamy texture to egg dishes, risotto, or potato dishes. It can be melted onto any dish for a flavorful finishing touch!
