Description: this Pecorino di Pienza is a delicacy made with black truffle (which is typical of Tuscany, as opposed to the white truffle from northern Italy). The truffle provides a very distinctive, rich aroma and flavour to this sheep milk-based cheese. The ageing can vary depending on availability.
How to use: this cheese can be perfectly matched with honey or with bread for aperitifs and appetizers; but it’s also exceptional if grated on plain pasta, fried eggs and fondues. To fully appreciate its flavours and aromas, it’s best to let the Pecorino come to room temperature before enjoying it.
How to preserve: the product is sold under vacuum. If it isn’t possible to put it under vacuum again, it is advisable to keep it where temperature is around 15-18 degrees (if not possible, the next best location is the part of the fridge that is least cold), with low humidity and using a wrap that allows air to flow (no plastic film roll, a cotton cloth is better). In any case, it is important to always check the appearance and smell of the product before consuming it, in order to ensure its healthiness.
