Amatrice Pecorino al Tartufo: A Symphony of Earth and Cream

Elevate your cheese board with a masterpiece from the rugged hills of Lazio. Our Amatrice Pecorino al Tartufo is not just a cheese; it’s an aromatic journey through the Italian countryside. Crafted using traditional methods in the historic town of Amatrice, this semi-aged sheep's milk cheese is infused with generous shavings of black summer truffles .

The Profile

• Origin: Amatrice, Lazio, Italy.
• Milk Type: 100% pure Italian sheep's milk.
• Texture: Firm yet remarkably creamy, with a smooth mouthfeel that melts as it hits room temperature.
• Flavor: A delicate balance of sweet, nutty Pecorino notes punctuated by the deep, musky, and earthy intensity of authentic black truffles.

Why You’ll Love It

While many truffle cheeses rely on synthetic oils, our Pecorino al Tartufo uses real truffle flakes . You can see the dark marbling throughout every slice, ensuring a consistent, sophisticated umami punch in every bite. It’s bold enough to stand alone, yet refined enough to compliment a variety of pairings.

Serving Suggestions

• The Perfect Board: Pair with local honey, dried figs, and thin slices of Prosciutto di Parma.
• Warm it Up: Shave it over a hot bowl of cacio e pepe or a wild mushroom risotto to let the truffle aroma bloom.
• The Drink: Best enjoyed with a structured red wine like a Brunello di Montalcino or a crisp, oaky Chardonnay.

Artisan Note: To fully appreciate the complexity of the truffle, we recommend removing the cheese from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.
