Pecorino Fresco al Tartufo

Pecorino Fresco al Tartufo is a cheese with an unmistakable flavour, born from the union of pasteurised sheep's milk and the enveloping scent of summer truffle.

It is an ideal product for those who want a fresh cheese but rich in character, with a perfect balance between the sweetness of the pecorino and the strong aroma of the truffle.
