IL FORTETO, CACIO DI BOSCO
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

IL FORTETO, PECORINO TOSCANO ANTICO ORO
From among the throngs of hopeful young pecorinos, these cheeses are specially selected by the master cheese maker at Il Forteto for longer aging and curing. Pecorino Toscano Oro Antico Riserva DOP undergoes lavish Tuscan olive oil treatments worthy of the finest European spas. After its initial olive oil rub down, it goes to relax in a stone cellar for six months where it enjoys further olive oil baths. At last, it is crowned with the red wax seal that marks it as Oro Antico Riserva. The final result is a semi-hard cheese whose herbaceous flavors are complemented by the richness of the sheep`s milk, notes of fruit and nuts, and just a touch of sharpness.
