Cacio Di Bosco al Tartufo is a Tuscan cheese made from sheep`s milk. It is studded with tiny specks of truffles and is pure heaven to eat. The long maturation balances the taste of pecorino with the strong taste of truffle, and it has a friable and slightly sour paste. The ingredients blend together superbly, making for a beautiful balance between garlicky truffle and nutty, sweet, almost caramelized aged sheep`s milk. This delicious cheese is firm, smooth, and oily, dotted with big flecks of truffle. It is refreshing as a table cheese and also shreds well to top risotto

Created by Antonio Carpenedo, Perla Grigia, which translates as “gray pearl”, is the original truffle cheese preserved under ash, or sotto cenere in Italian. This cow’s milk cheese, produced in Veneto, is quite soft and smooth with the distinct characteristic of actual small slices of black truffle incorporated into the paste. Its rind is rubbed with a mixture of beechwood ash and spices that allows the cheese to remain soft and gives it its gorgeous, pearly appearance. Unique and unforgettable, Perla Grigia is exceptional as a table cheese and also possesses a beautiful melting quality that makes it perfect for use in the preparation of many dishes. The history of this company began in early 1900 when Ernest Carpenedo began working as a “casoin” (a dialect term meaning a cheese seller) in a little shop in the village of Preganziol (TV). From these humble beginnings, Ernesto’s son and founder of La Casearia, Antonio Carpenedo, became one of the first cheese affineurs in Italy and today he runs the business with his son Alessandro. “The cheeses of the Antonio Carpendedo cellar” are not only appreciated around Europe but overseas as well.

Its appearance has a straw colored pate and a bright white rind. The cheese has full rich flavors that are earthy and mushroomy with undertones of sweetness and tanginess attributed to the sheep milk

The hard cow’s milk cheese is aged for over a year, featuring a crystallized crunch and granular texture. During its aging, the cheese develops a slightly piquant taste and slight bitterness, similar to Grana Padano. Its savory and salty properties are enfolded by its distinguished ivory colored, GMO and rBST-free interior.
