Kinara with Truffle - 200g

If you are planning a risotto or pasta with truffles, look to this long-aged grating cheese, made with thistle (vegetarian) rennet, and studded with real black truffles.  

Milk Type: Raw Cow

Tasting Notes: rich, earthy, decadent 

The Fiandino farm is located in the province of Cuneo, Piemonte. Though they descend from a long line of shepherds, cousins Mario and Egidio only recently revived the traditional use of thistle rennet. Inspired by their grandfather, they use wild thistle to coagulate their cheeses, a practice rarely seen with cow’s milk. Their artful cheesemaking is combined with their love for their animals (a herd of Bruna Alpina cows), and sensibility for green energy (about 1/3 of it provided by solar power).
