{"product_id":"pecorino-al-tartufo","title":"Black Truffle Pecorino 350g","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormaggio Reale al Tartufo is one of the most refined cheese specialities of Tuscany: a tender, creamy paste made from selected pasteurised cow's and sheep's milk, enriched at the heart of the wheel by prized flakes of \u003cstrong\u003eTuber Aestivum Vitt\u003c\/strong\u003e — the black summer truffle — which perfume the entire paste with a persistent, elegant and never overpowering aromatic bouquet.

A flavour profile no single-milk cheese can replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🍄 \u003cstrong\u003eTuber Aestivum Vitt — real Tuscan truffle in flakes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1% black summer truffle, collected locally in Tuscany and physically embedded in the heart of the wheel during production. No artificial truffle flavouring. The flakes are visible at the cut and release natural aromas at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🧀 \u003cstrong\u003eShort ageing 20-25 days — creamy paste preserved\u003c\/strong\u003e — the choice of short ageing is precise and deliberate: more ageing means more saltiness and firmness but less fresh truffle aroma. 20-25 days is the perfect balance point between paste creaminess and the aromatic persistence of Tuber Aestivum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📋 Product details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFormaggio Reale al Tartufo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePasteurised cow's and sheep's milk, Tuber Aestivum Vitt 1%, salt, rennet, lactic cultures\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTender, soft, creamy, white\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTreated with E202 and E235 — not edible\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e20-25 days\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e350 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutritional values \/100g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1430 kJ \/ 345 kcal · Fat 29g · Protein 21g · Salt 1.4g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eContains milk\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e+2°C \/ +4°C · vacuum-sealed\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTuscany, Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌡️ How to get the best out of this cheese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruffle expresses its complete aromatic bouquet only at the right temperature.
