Q-Tip: Sottocenere Cheese


Best cheese ever. If you like truffles and truffle oil. Found this write up on wikipedia:

"Sottocenere is originally from Venice, Italy and translates from Italian literally as "under ash", while al tartufo means "with truffles." It is made with raw cow's milk and slices of truffles, then rubbed with various herbs and spices. After creation, sottocenere is aged in an ash rind as a way to preserve it over a long period without losing flavor. The use of ash as a cheese rind is a tradition in the Venetian region."

Whole Food's carries it & Murray's cheese shop does for you NY'ers. Trader Joe's might too.
