Truffle Treasures

How does one pass up a truffle cheese? The alluring aroma, and uniquely deep, earthy flavors of truffle, married with the richness of cheese, awakens my senses and gratifies my taste buds. It's the ultimate in decadence. I like to reserve this type of cheese for gatherings, as I know I can easily eat a whole wedge if left for myself. There are three standout truffle cheeses I am obsessing over as of now: Melkbus Truffle Gouda, Truffle Tremor, and Pecorino Moliterno Al Tartufo. All would fabulous on any cheese board.

Melkbus Truffle Gouda
Stunning raw milk gouda, flecked with black Italian truffles. Its texture is creamy, supple, and the bits truffles add oomph and a textural difference.

Truffle Tremor
I would not have thought that the tartness of goat cheese and earthiness of truffle, would meld so well together, but they do. The flavor of the goat cheese is clean, lightly tangy, allowing the Italian black summer truffles to shine. Truly an elegant cheese that is perfectly balanced.

Pecorino Moliterno Al Tartufo
A bold, raw sheep's milk cheese with veins of truffle paste. The cheese has a piquant. almost spicy flavor, contrasting beautifully with the savory truffles.
