White truffles are the main event in these two outstanding Italian cheeses, Il Boschetto al Tartufo from Veneto and Sottocenare al Tartufo from Tuscany. Boschetto al Tartufo is a mild semisoft cheese, a blend of sheep and cow's milk, loaded with white truffle bits. The heady aroma and delightful flavor will be enjoyed by all who partake. The Sottocenare al Tartufo is a little firmer in texture, all cow's milk, but packs an equal truffle punch, with the added flavor of having been aged in an edible vegetable ash rind with nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, licorice, cloves, and fennel rubbed in.
