Perlagrigia

Made just outside of Venice, this cow's milk cheese is a young, fresh tasting cheese. Perlagrigia contains flakes of the prized black truffle. After being carefully washed, it is rubbed with extra virgin olive oil infused with natural truffle flavour. This semi-soft cheese is covered in ash to preserve its flavours. The ash layer is made from drying and grinding the following herbs; cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, licorice and nutmeg. All of these herbs are grown by local farmers using time honoured methods of cultivation and harvesting. The cheese is then aged in its herbed rind for at least one month.
