Stopped in Central Market yesterday looking for (among other goodies) the cheese you and Bob had a while back -
Tartufo Moliterno (infused w/black truffles). Was disappointed to hear they do carry it, but were out of it.
But, they did have -
My label says Mitica “Sottoceniere” with Truffles, but when I googled it, only the below spelling showed up.
“Sottocenere means "under ashes" in Italian, and the cheese is actually buried in a mixture of ash and spices, notably cinnamon, allspice and clove (J’s note: another site also added nutmeg, ccoriander, licorice, fennel). This semi-soft cow's milk cheese also has a healthy dose of black and white truffle to give it a deliciously unusual flavor profile. Wine choices could be challenging, but light reds from Dolcetto to Pinot Noir would be worth a try.”
What a nice cheese this is!
Where are you Sharon and what are you up to?? You're not still sick are you?

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
