Moliterno al Tartufo is Dussa’s new favourite Truffle
Pecorino. This beautiful cheese from Sardinia is tiger striped thick black
slashes of Italian black truffle paste. Unlike other truffle cheeses, truffles are
piped into Moliterno after it is slightly aged. This gives for a more subtle
truffle taste that doesn’t mask the salty sweet flavour of the amazing raw
sheep’s milk cheese. Yet the earthy truffles can still be tasted in every bite.
Throughout the aging process, olive oil and vinegar is rubbed on the rind,
adding to a very light fermented tang near the edges. Moliterno al Tartufo can
easily stand on its own, paired with a crusty loaf and a hearty beer or bold
red wine. You can also drizzle a bit of honey on it and eat it with fruits, or
toss in a few shavings on your pizza or pasta.
