Pecorino Stagionato al Tartufo

Pecorino Stagionato al Tartufo is an excellent pecorino, made unmistakable by the addition of truffle brisure that amplifies its aroma and flavor. This unique combination of a maturation of about 120 days and the intensity of the truffle creates a cheese of great refinement and character. The paste, compact and semi-hard, lends itself both to tasting at the table and to flaking on hot dishes, offering a rich and enveloping gastronomic experience. The cheese has a white color with distributed truffle brisure, which adds complexity to the texture.
