Truffle cheese worth trusting.

Truffles are among the most prized flavors in the culinary world, and that makes them some of the most imitated. Plenty of “truffle” products rely on synthetic flavorings or truffle oil to fake it, and they taste like it. As cheese buyers, we’ve learned to be skeptical of anything labeled truffle. So believe us when we say: this one is the real deal.

It’s made in La Mancha by María José, the same cheesemaker behind the Essex St. Cheese Raw Milk Manchego. She starts with raw milk from Manchega sheep, which gives the cheese a smooth, nutty, gently sweet base. Then she adds real shaved black truffles (no oil), which give it a deep, earthy richness. It’s rare, made in small batches, and won’t last long. Grab some while it’s here.
