Sheep cheese with Tartufo: the perfect fusion of tradition and gourmet luxury
La Antigua Tartufo cured sheep cheese is the result of more than two years of research to achieve the perfect balance between the intensity of cured cheese and the aromatic elegance of natural truffle.
Made in Zamora with raw sheep’s milk and Italian Piedmont black truffle, this cheese represents the union between Spanish cheesemaking tradition and the sophistication of haute cuisine.
What makes it unique?
- 100% raw sheep’s milk → intense, authentic base
- Natural black truffle from Piedmont (1%) → real aroma, without artifices
- Aging of 6 to 12 months → complex flavor development
- Artisanal cellar production
- No essences or artificial flavorings
Only cheese and real truffle. Nothing else.
Truffle: the ingredient that changes everything
During the development of this cheese, multiple truffle varieties were tested, but only Piedmont black truffle proved able to retain its aromatic intensity during maturation.
The result is a cheese:
- elegant
- persistent
- deeply aromatic
Where truffle does not accompany: it leads the flavor.
