Caciotta al Tartufo Truffled Cheese

Caciotta al Tartufo is a true standout among truffle cheeses, crafted with care in the countryside near Rome. While many truffle cheeses rely solely on aroma, this Italian classic balances rich, high-quality milk with the earthy depth of authentic black truffles. Made from a blend of cow’s and sheep’s milk, the curds are infused with generous amounts of summer truffle before being aged for 60–75 days. The result is a cheese that is both decadent and approachable, offering remarkable character at an excellent value. Its ivory paste is flecked with truffle shavings that lend a rustic, artisanal look and real truffle flavor.

Semi-soft and creamy, Caciotta al Tartufo has a mild, milky base enhanced by the unmistakable pungency of Italian black truffles. Its flavor is tangy, savory, and slightly woodsy, striking a perfect balance between elegance and indulgence. This cheese is equally at home on a gourmet cheese board as it is in the kitchen — Try crumbling it over pizza with sautéed mushrooms, shaving it into pasta, or pairing it with charcuterie for a decadent aperitivo. Whether enjoyed as a centerpiece or a flavorful accent, it’s an exceptional way to bring the luxury of truffles to the table without compromise.
