Description
A small-format, bloomy rind cow’s milk cheese infused with black truffles. This Utah-made wheel is produced in Kamas using traditional soft-ripening techniques and local milk.
Craft & Origin
This cheese is handmade at the Ballerina Farm dairy in Kamas, Utah. The production process utilizes vat-pasteurized cow’s milk to create a delicate, lactic curd. Black truffle pieces are incorporated into the paste before the wheels are moved to the ripening room. During maturation, a thin white bloomy rind develops on the exterior. This rind facilitates the enzymatic breakdown of the interior, resulting in a transition from a firm core to a supple texture. Small-batch production ensures the ratio of truffle to cream remains balanced throughout each individual wheel. The result is a consistent, earthy profile that emphasizes technical precision over high-volume output.
Flavor & Texture
Notes of mushroom and damp earth. The texture is soft and spreadable with a thin, edible rind.
How to Use
Serve at room temperature on a neutral cracker or a crusty baguette.
Why We Like It
A reliable domestic truffle cheese that uses real truffle pieces to achieve a deep umami profile.
