Where does truffle cheese come from?
Then, how is truffle cheese made?
Decadent Truffles Add an Earthy Flavor to Cheeses Truffle cheese is any type of cheese that has been flavored with truffles, a culinary fungus that grows underground and is highly prized by chefs and foodies. Truffles have an earthy, garlicky, nutty flavor and are aromatic (some might say pungent).
Considering this, is truffle cheese healthy?
Truffles boast an impressive nutrient profile and are high in many important vitamins and minerals.

Truffle honey's earthy-sweet personality is compatible with a variety of cheeses, from soft and fresh to hard and aged, even spicy and blue. Sharp and slightly flaky, Pecorino Toscano Stagionato is a super solid match—the sheepy, chestnutty flavor draws out the honey's muskiness.
