Aged Truffle Pecorino

Aged Truffle Pecorino is an extraordinary cheese that marries the bold, savory character of aged Pecorino with the luxurious allure of Tuscan White Truffle (Bianchetto). Handcrafted in small batches by a family-owned dairy in Southern Tuscany, this cheese reflects a rich legacy of artisanal cheesemaking dating back to 1966. The sheep graze along the lush coastal pastures of Follonica, producing milk that embodies the region’s distinctive terroir.

After production, the cheese is transferred to Monte Amiata, where it is aged for 60 days in fresh mountain air. This cool environment encourages slow, even maturation, enhancing the cheese’s firm texture and giving it a distinctive rich finish. Throughout the wheel, generous flakes of Bianchetto truffle deliver an earthy, aromatic burst of umami, complemented by the Pecorino’s pleasant, full-bodied flavor and a hint of spice on the finish. Each bite is a harmonious balance of rich dairy sweetness and the unmistakable allure of truffle.
