Truffle Crutin Peppino Occelli 100 gr.

Crutin al Tartufo, or Truffle Crutin, is a specialty cheese from Italy, particularly from the Piedmont region. It is a variation of the classic Italian cheese, Crutin, which is a soft, spreadable cheese made from cow's milk.

Truffle Crutin is infused with pieces of black truffle, giving it a rich and earthy flavor with aromatic notes. The truffle adds a luxurious touch to the creamy cheese, elevating its taste profile. This cheese is often enjoyed as a gourmet treat, served on crackers or bread, or incorporated into dishes to add depth and complexity.

Truffle Crutin is a favorite among cheese enthusiasts and truffle aficionados for its indulgent flavor and luxurious texture. It's a delightful addition to cheese boards, appetizers, and culinary creations, adding a touch of sophistication to any dish.

The "crutin", a small cellar dug into the tuff, was the pantry of the Langa farmers. This cow's milk cheese, with a crumbly paste enriched with truffle's flakes, concretely recalls the spirit of this magical place. This is why Beppino Occelli called it Crutin, and we recommend it to be paired with noble Piedmontese wines such as Barbaresco and Barolo. In the kitchen, Crutin is the main ingredient for sumptuous fillings or in the seasoning of pasta and gnocchi in white.
