An absolute must-try for truffle lovers, Moliterno al Tartufo is a decadent pecorino cheese produced on the island of Sardinia off the coast of Italy.
Moliterno is made seasonally from December to July using homebred cultures with curds that are then molded in handmade reed baskets. Unlike most truffle cheeses, Moliterno is aged for several months and then only the most flawless wheels are selected to become Tartufos. They are then sent to the Northern part of the island - truffle country! - to be injected with rich truffle paste. This results in the striking black veins visible when a wheel is cut into. Further aging then occurs, during which the wheels are also rubbed with truffle oil.
