OH CHEESE GODDESS, I HAVE EATEN ALMOST THIS WHOLE 0.240 lb SLICE OF ITALIAN “UNDER-ASH MYTHICAL TRUFFLE CHEESE” (my best attempt at a translation), AND I NEED YOU TO TELL ME I WILL BE OKAY AND WHY THIS STUFF IS SO DAMNED DELICIOUS!!!
__________
Well friend! Let me just say that this particular cheese is one of my favorite to recommend for folks who want something big and truffle-y, but aren’t quite sure if they wanna snack on it or cook with it or both. I think its texture--semi-soft, buttery, almost melt-in-your-mouth--and the streaks of rich black truffle throughout are what make it so special. The rind doesn’t hurt, either. Ash often balances the acidity of cheese, and the touch of anise gives a unique spicy note that (fortunately) doesn’t overwhelm the truffle. And the name does translate to “under the ash,” but I think you’re right that the mythical part is at least implied.
Anyway, I think you will be ok, so long as your local source keeps getting the cheese in stock. It’s addictive, for sure. A quarter pound certainly won’t hurt you. That’s my high end for personal cheese servings.
Incidentally, if you go back for more, you should consider grating just a little of it onto a pizza (I’d do carmelized onion and prosciutto with mozzarella, a little fontina, and a little sottocenere) or into a grilled cheese (fontina, sottocenere, and some sauteed mushrooms on good bread). It’ll melt like a dream.
I love getting cheese question/comments/submissions! Thank you for sending me this!
