Flavor:
Earthy, mushroom, pungent.
Story:
Imported from Spain, Gilberto Raw Sheep’s Milk Cheese with Truffles is a splendid offering for those who appreciate extra-flavorful cheese. Because it is made with raw sheep’s milk, the cheese boasts buttery richness not typically found in other cheeses. And added to the mix are black truffles, making this semi-hard cheese a slightly pungent and decadent cheese that is wonderful sliced on a cracker or grated and used in recipes.
Recommended Pairings:
Manchego is a good pairing with a Spanish Cava, Tempranillo, young Rioja, or white wines like Verdejo and Rioja Blanco which have citrus and tropical fruit flavors with ample acidity. They also pair well with wines that have good fruit flavors like Merlot or a blend like Meritage.
