Pecorino al Tartufo Wedge Cheese 200 - 300g Approx Moliterno di Central

Tradition considers the origins of this cheese to be in the town of Moliterno (hence the name) in Basilicata. However, today most of the production takes place in Sardinia.Pecorino Moliterno al Tartufo is a raw sheep's milk cheese, interwoven with generous streaks of black truffle.Something unusual for a cheese with added flavor, is that in this case the truffle is added after aging has taken place, by injecting a paste made from black truffles. This process allows the cheese to develop its own character, its own flavors and its friable, grainy texture, prior to the addition of the truffle. The truffle is then allowed to "grow" and find its way through the cheese, forming the precious veins.during the five-month maturation period, the wheels are rubbed with vinegar and local olive oil.
