Description:
As is characteristic of many Piemontese cheeses, this toma is made with a blend of sheep and cows milk. The short aging period follows tradition as well as it takes place in an old tuff cantina. This atmosphere, maintained by the thick stone walls, is ideal for aging cheeses and imparts its own unique flavors to the mild cheese. After being salted, each form is placed on cheesecloth. This natural fiber very slowly absorbs only the excess humidity leaving the cheese with a soft, creamy texture. The addition of black truffles perfumes the entire toma with the deep, musky perfume.
