“There are two types of people who eat truffles: those who think truffles are good because they are dear, and those who know they are dear because they are good.” Jean-Louis Vaudoyer Oh, truffles. For thousands of years, you’ve inspired such passion, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern America. You’ve also inspired Trader Joe’s Italian Truffle Cheese, which is definitely dear because it is good. Our Italian Truffle Cheese is made with black truffles from central Italy’s Umbria region. Made from pasteurized cow’s milk, it’s a young cheese, aged for 15 days. Its mild flavor makes it the ideal canvas for the concentrated truffle oil and black truffle pieces that are blended liberally throughout the cheese. The truffles’ earthy, woody, musky aroma shines, and on the palate, it delivers with aplomb. The semi-soft nature makes this an excellent melting cheese – it’s delicious melted over roasted meats, makes delightful omelets, and adds dynamic dimension to pasta or potato dishes. It also makes a bold statement on a cheese board.
