Gourmet à la Truffe d'été, cow's milk, Sainte-Savine, France, 7 oz./Each

Gourmet à la Truffe d’Été is a rich French cow’s milk cheese flavored with summer truffle (Tuber aestivum). The style combines a creamy, buttery dairy base with the delicate woodland character of summer truffle, resulting in a luxurious but relatively approachable truffled cheese.

Summer truffle is generally subtler than the more intensely aromatic black winter truffle, so the cheese tends to emphasize balance rather than overwhelming truffle intensity. Expect a rich foundation of sweet cream and cultured butter, complemented by the truffle's earthy, woody and gently mushroom-like character. 

Sugguested pairings: Burgundy, Champagne, Chablis, Nebbiolo, Northern Rhône reds
