Sottocenere al tartufo

A mild, flavoursome cow’s milk cheese combined with slivers of black truffles and aged for three months in spices (a mix that might include nutmeg, coriander, anise, cinnamon, licorice, cloves, and fennel) and beech wood ash—one of the traditional ways of conserving cheeses in the Veneto.
