Flavor:
Earthy, mushroom, pungent.
Story:
This aged pecorino from Sardegna is based on the Moliterno style, with the addition of black truffle. Aged a minimum of 6 months, it is sharp, buttery, and savory, with a slightly granular texture and hints of truffle that complement rather than overwhelm the flavor of the paste. It’s an excellent value for a 100% sheep’s milk cheese with truffle.
Recommended Pairings:
Pairings with Pecorino Moliterno al Tartufo can be challenging, as big hearty red wines are needed but anything too tannic will overshadow the nuance of the cheese, hence the perfect pairing with our Rapture Pinot Noir.
