Pecorino is a traditional Italian cheese made with 100% sheep’s milk. Murray’s Pecorino Tartufello brings an element of decadence to this sweet and nutty cheese with the addition of black truffles. The earthy, rich slivers add a touch of savory luxury to the mild, milky, and supple paste, creating a selection that’s both snackable and elegant. Serve this stunning cheese with something that brings out its nuanced flavor, like Bee Seasonal Organic Angico Honey or Amarena Cherries.

“This is a truly dependable cheese that I come back to again and again. The earthy truffle notes are pronounced, but balanced by the salt and acidity in the cheese for a pleasant and easygoing experience on the palate. It's what we call a "table cheese" because it's hearty enough to stay out on the table so you can cut off hunks to enjoy throughout the day. It’s also a wonderful melter. Perfect for grilled cheese, omelets, and quesadillas.”

Pecorino is a style of Italian cheese that’s made with 100% sheep’s milk.
It comes in a number of different forms, including younger versions with smoother, semi-firm pastes like Murray’s Pecorino Tartufello, and harder, aged versions like Pecorino Oro Antico.
To create Murray’s Pecorino Tartufello, black truffles are slivered and then pressed into the cheese, which is aged for only a month.
Truffles are known for being one of the most rare and expensive foods in the world, and are sought after for their scarcity and uniquely savory, aromatic properties.
Truffles are harvested by hand in specific regions of Europe using trained truffle-sniffing dogs or pigs.

When you receive your cheese, unpack the order and refrigerate the items. We recommend using the cheese paper we send most of our products in to store the cheese. The cheese paper helps cover the items and stop them from drying out, while also allowing the cheese to breathe. Since cheese is mold, it's a living thing! If you cut off air circulation to the cheese, you can actually cause it to suffocate and spoil at a faster rate.
