Valdivieso Manchego with Black Truffles
Finca Valdivieso · La Mancha, Spain
Nutty sheep's milk cheese layered with black Spanish truffle, earthy and aromatic in every slice.
The cheese
Valdivieso makes this cheese on its family estate in La Mancha, from the milk of its own flock of Manchega sheep. As the curd goes into the moulds, black winter truffle (Tuber melanosporum) from Spain is layered through it. Each wheel shows dark ribbons of truffle at its centre when cut.
Tasting notes
The paste is firm and smooth, with the mild, nutty sweetness of a young sheep's milk cheese. The truffle brings an earthy, musky aroma and a savoury depth that builds as the cheese warms. The truffle flavour is natural and balanced, so the cheese still tastes of sheep's milk.
How to enjoy
Serve it on its own so the truffle can shine, with plain crackers or a slice of baguette. Shave it over scrambled eggs, risotto or fresh pasta just before serving. Pair it with a Spanish Mencía or Champagne. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving, and wrap it well, as the aroma travels.
