Product Description
Boschetto is about as amazing as a cheese gets. Its base is a sweet, tender and mild cheese made from a careful balance of cows and sheeps milk. Mixed throughout are shavings of rare white truffle that transform the cheese into a powerfully addictive delicacy. The master cheesemaker at Il Forteto has struck a precious harmony between the pronounced, pungent taste of the extremely scarce (and expensive) white truffle and the blended milk cheese. The result is a scent and a flavor that simply bowls you over with delight. To separate this product from the rest of their product line, Il Forteto hand-packs each finished piece in its own wooden basket. Made from pasteurized ewe and cow's milk.

Fantastic Italian Truffle Cheese!! May 29, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you like mozzarella-type cheeses and consider mushrooms their own food group, buy this cheese immediately. I had it at a wine bar in San Diego with my sister and the owner was kind enough to let me sneak a peek at the label so I could buy some of my own. It's a large ball of cheese that comes in it's own fancy woven container and is perfect for putting out at a party with crackers -- that is if you don't eat the entire thing yourself beforehand. The texture is medium firm and it has a melt-in-your-mouth creaminess. The black truffle bits in the cheese give it the most amazing taste - not extremely overpowering like some truffle oils can be, but just the right amount of truffle taste. The truffle bits are not discernible texture-wise (important if you like consistency of texture like I do!) This is such a unique tasting cheese and is certain to impress your guests if you serve it, or if you do keep it all to yourself, try it melted on crusty bread with a slice of ham and with a glass of prosecco. Delish!
