Cheese - Moliterno al Tartufo

DESCRIPTION This Sardinian cheese is aged for about 6 months is stunning with black, marble streaks of truffle branching throughout its pale, white paste.  The golden-hued natural rind is repeatedly rubbed and cured with extra virgin olive oil.  With a robust, earthy flavor and hints of salt this cheese will stand out on any board.  It's unique in being one of the very few sheep's milk cheeses flavored with truffle (most are cow's milk).   ORIGIN Italy   MILK TYPE Sheep   RAW MILK OR PASTEURIZED? Pasteurized   STORAGE TIPS Refrigerate preferably in its own drawer close to where most of the produce is kept.  After each time that you slice the cheese, re-wrap it with fresh plastic wrap to extend the shelf life.  While some chefs will freeze a slice of blue and then grate it over a salad before serving, Chef's Mandala doesn't recommend freezing cheeses in general.   PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED THIS ALSO PURCHASED Cheese Plate By Cheese Type - Delice de Bourgogne and Ossau Iraty for a flight of
