Moliterno al Tartufo
Ivory smooth, shaves abundantly to feathery strips.
Country of Origin: Italy
Milk Type/Treatment: Raw Sheep
Rennet Type: Animal
The generous peels of Italian black truffles abound in the paste of Cacio di Bosco al Tartufo—every wedge is a winning piece. This pecorino won’t overwhelm with too much astringency and ensures an elegant play of the flavors you’re seeking: the title role of black truffle and its beloved chorus, butter and salt.
Milk isn’t the only thing cheese preserves. The black truffle has a limited season, but surrounded by the salts and oils of Moliterno, black truffles are yours year round. These wheels are rubbed with vinegar and olive oil as they age, highlighting the subtle bite already present in the cheese, and guarding against any escape of truffly-goodness.
Pecorino, truffle, and honey make one of the most harmonious trios in the world of cheese-pairing. Starting with two-in-one, I recommend the gossamer Bee Raw Colorado Star-Thistle Honey with its almost marshmallow flavor. Moliterno al Tartufo can easily dominate the table, so choose a wine that can stand up but not overpower, like an earthy but floral Barolo. You may even find its kindred cheese-spirit in Testun a Barolo. Now THAT is one special cheese plate!

Great cheese!
Moliterno al Tartufo is THE MOST EXCELLENT TRUFFLE CHEESE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! If a cheese can be said to be "life-altering", this is the one! This was part of my early birthday present to myself- an Italian Foodie Box of Joy from Di Bruno Bros.! I will be doling this stuff out like "controlled substances" as long as possible!
This is absolutely one of the best cheeses in their extensive selection. The truffle is wonderfully balanced, not overpowering. This is a must have for any cheese plate.
Pungent. Absolutely delicious. I topped it with some spicy honey!
Very special combo I will save it for my personal use
really fantastic! definitely grassy and musky, in good ways. 10/10 want to eat again
