From the Italian island of Sardinia comes this raw sheep's milk cheese with black truffles. Unlike most truffled cheeses, the truffle paste is infused after Moliterno has been aged so that the cheese develops its own character before the truffles are injected. Though the truffles are only visible in the "veins," the truffle flavor permeates throughout the entire paste of this amazing cheese. During the aging process, oil and vinegar are applied to the cheese's rind to prevent weight loss.

Once cut, the dark paste oozes out of the crevices of the cheese like trickles of water from a craggy cliff. Both delicious and intriguing visually, this cheese is a show-stopper. Enjoy this pecorino with a big, earthy Italian red with enough muscle to stand up to the truffles.

  • Made from raw sheep's milk.
  • Whole form of cheese is 6 pounds.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Latest Customer Reviews for Moliterno Black Truffle Pecorino
Intriguing
By cheese lover

on Apr 30, 2012
This cheese was very complex. Depended on what part of the cheese you ate would give you a totally differant flavor. The rind taste like dirt! The rest of it was deliciously complex!
not my favorite

the salty taste overpowers the truffle flavor somewhat. It is edible, but in small doses.
Very Good!

Cheese was great - had the taste of Romano with a hint of Truffle in each bite. My wife who is not a fan of truffle was able to enjoy as well because it wasn't overwhelming.
worth every penny

The only thing wrong with this cheese is that there is so little of it. My kids and I had to fight over it. It is an excelent, very flavorable, hard cheese which is perfect on top of a toasted baggete.
Wonderful Cheese!

After trying some igourmet cheeses at a wine tasting event, I purchased an assortment from igourmet for my husband. It arrived the day that was specified when ordering, in an insulated styrofoam container with a block of dry ice to keep the cheese fresh. The first cheese we opened was the Moliterno Black Truffle Pecorino. What a treasure! The bold pecorino is infused with the black truffles which gives it an earthy nuance. Great with hearty red wines.
This Cheese got Rave Reviews

I gave this cheese as a gift to friends for their housewarming. I haven't stopped hearing about how amazing it tastes shaved over whole wheat pasta with veggies. I think I'll get some for myself!

If you like truffles this is the cheese for you
Mmmazing

For those who just wanted to taste the cheese, order plain Moliterno. This was amazing, after sampling a tiny cube at my gourmet store I had to buy a wedge. And I was not going to buy a $25/lb cheese. It's definitely among the finest things I've ever tasted provided u like black truffles.
One of Our Favorite Truffle Cheeses

We had first eaten this cheese in Europe and had some trouble finding in the the SF area. We were so happy to find in in iGourmet!
Truffle completely overwhelms cheese
By JM.SoCal
from Brentwood, CA
on May 31, 2010
I know this will seem like an oxymoron to many - but this cheese tasted too much of truffles! The flavor of the black truffles made the cheese impossible to taste at all. If I wanted to just taste truffles, that is what I would have ordered.
