Pecorino al Tartufo Fedeli

The Fedeli family is rightfully well known for their incredible cold cuts (which we feature abundantly in our Meat category), but they also partner with local artisans to craft equally wonderful cheese. As first featured cheese from their selection we chose this fantastic Pecorino with truffle.

Their "unique and secret processing technique is different from all the other producers and distinguishes this cheese from all the other flavoured cheeses on the market". 

We don't know what the secret is, but we do know that it works like a charm: whereas truffle-flavoured cheese usually tastes like a bland random soft cheese with some artificial aromas on top, this one is a truly enjoyable, real Pecorino that would be excellent even without the generous chunks of real summer truffle that you'll find in it.

DISCLAIMER: CHEESE NEVER DIES

Ethical and artisanal food requires a bit of care, love and co-agency from us: when food is in our fridge or pantry, we are its stewards. 

This cheese shouldn't develop mould, but can get dry and a bit darker on the outside. Which is good: the outer layer protects it from outside unwanted microbes and fosters its maturation.

Over time (that is, if you manage to resist eating it all in one session) this cheese will  will become harder  and more intense in flavour. This is also good: that's your cheese expressing its full cheesiness and actualizing its best self through fermentation. 

Let's embrace the taste of entropy and savour the wonders of decay together.
