Like our Pyrenees Brebis, this Basque original is one sheepy stunner. But Pyrenees Truffé holds a luxurious surprise: white truffles sourced from Italy. This dense, creamy cheese boasts an intensely savory aroma but a delicate flavor. Notes of sweet grass and nuts balance the garlicky umami of pure white truffles—just enough to add flavor without overshadowing the cheese. This firm mountain-born beauty is ideal for grating over a bowl of pasta or slicing and enjoying with Murray’s Speck.

"This is hands-down my favorite truffle cheese. The richness of the sheep's milk blends so beautifully with that garlicky white truffle. Beloved by truffle lovers AND haters, it's just that good."

Pyrenees Truffé comes from Southwestern France near the Spanish border, in French Basque Country, one of the world’s most distinctive gastronomical regions.
It’s made with high-quality milk from sheep found within 16 miles of the dairy.
This cheese shares characteristics with other Basque sheep’s milk cheeses like Pyrenees Brebis and Ossau-Iraty—it’s rich and dense, with nutty and earthy flavors.
The interior cheese is studded with real white truffle, which imbues every bite with a savory garlic essence.
Unlike black truffles, which are cultivated throughout the world, white truffles are only cultivated in Piedmont (in Northern Italy) from September to December.
Their rich fragrance and short-lived season and shelf life make these winter truffles one of the most coveted delicacies in the world.
Even truffle skeptics will enjoy this cheese, as there’s no overpowering earthy mushroom flavor. It’s savory, subtle, and balanced; special yet snackable.
