Pecorino al Tartufo Striato

Setting out to create a cheese - which when cut displays beautiful and aromatic streak of truffle and vegetable ash -, renowned cheesemaker Luigi Guffanti has developed this outstanding pecorino cheese, Pecorino al Tartufo Striato.  Its rind, dusted with oak powder, yields to a firm white paste.  The truffle, balanced with the sharpness of the pecorino, results in a wonderful flavor that becomes even tastier with a pinot noir.
