Young Truffle Pecorino

Young Truffle Pecorino, also known as Boschetto al Tartufo, is a decadent union of fresh Pecorino and the prized Tuscan White Truffle (Bianchetto)—a delicacy celebrated for its elegant, earthy aroma. Produced in small batches on the sun-drenched coast of Southern Tuscany, this cheese reflects the artistry of a family-owned dairy that has perfected its craft since 1966. Sourced from a select group of approximately 80 local farmers, the sheep’s milk captures the essence of the region’s coastal pastures while the infusion of truffle adds a luxurious twist.

Aged for 20 days to preserve its rich, creamy texture, Boschetto al Tartufo allows the unmistakable essence of Bianchetto truffle to permeate every bite. Generous flakes of truffle are distributed throughout the cheese, offering bursts of savory umami that balance beautifully with the fresh, milky sweetness of the Pecorino. This harmonious pairing creates a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s both indulgent and approachable.

  • Everyday Indulgence: Shave over scrambled eggs or warm pasta for an effortless touch of truffle sophistication.
