This vegetarian Grana-style cheese is one of the few aged cheeses made with thistle rennet. The producer, Fiandino, pioneered this method of cheesemaking using thistle rennet with cow’s milk, a rare combination in the world of Italian cheese. Milk is collected from their herd of 250 Bruna Alpina cows and local dairies to produce this one-year aged raw milk cheese. They take great care of their Bruna Alpina cows, playing music at a special frequency in order to calm them and increase milk production. To make this decadent truffle version, Mario and Egidio Fiandino spent years of study and research to find the right balance between earthy truffle and the floral aromas and hint of tang in the crumbly, buttery cheese. It shines when grated over pasta and risotto, melted in delicious fondues, and simply flaked into pieces to be enjoyed as a table cheese.
