Located in: Cheese, Italy
Explore the amazing scents and flavor of Boschetto. Its base is a sweet, tender and mild cheese made from a careful blend of sheep's milk and cow's milk. Mixed throughout are shavings of rare, white truffle that transform the cheese into an addictive delicacy. Il Forteto‘s master cheese-maker has unveiled a harmony between the pronounced, earthy tones of rare white truffles and blended-milk cheese. Il Forteto hand-packs each finished piece in its own wooden basket.
  • Made from pasteurized ewe's milk and cow's milk.

Great truffle flavor! I've bought this from igourmet several times, as it's hard to find in stores. Great for gifts to foodie friends and family too.

Comments about Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto - Select Cut:

It had a most amazing flavor that was almost citrusy, Zesty and bright while the texture was creamy and smooth. The smallest bit held in the mouth filled my palate with flavor and aroma. My only regret for having tried this amazing cheese is its price, because now I want a small bit every day! It is a stand alone taste. I tried a bit with baguette, water cracker,etc.... The best way was right off of the knife. The flavor rolls around in your mouth and lingers a long time, so thankfully a little goes a long way. If anyone wants to send me something for christmas,birthday,whatever special day-please send more of this!

Comments about Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto - Select Cut:

This is a wonderful hors d'oeuvre cheese with thinly sliced sour dough baguettes. For truffle lovers, it is a sublime flavor and can be used in many ways. It would be wonderful melted in a sandwich or gourmet type of quesadilla, or even for a special eggs benedict recipe.

Comments about Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto - Select Cut:

This is by far my favorite cheese. I serve it at every dinner party and my guests rave! I also use boschetto when making my "truffled" mac 'n' cheese for my family. I make a baked pasta with penne or rigatoni and blend the boschetto with some parmiggiano and some good cheddar. Outrageous!

Comments about Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto - Select Cut:

At first, we were a bit disappointed with the bland flavor of this cheese although I had taken it out of the fridge about an hour before serving. However, another 15, 20 minutes into dinner, the transformation happened and the exquisite truffle flavor revealed itself. Beautifully balanced cheese with complex character. Loved it! Just make sure you really take it out of the fridge a long time before serving to fully experience the great taste...

This is a wine tasting favorite. We having been ordering this cheese for several years and have tried it melted and in dishes but it is just so good to eat all by itself. No cracker needed!

This is the best cheese! We went through it in less than a week. Part of the problem is we wanted everyone to taste it. So next time I will order the bigger size. I'm so glad you carry it, I can't find anything like it around here....
