these highly prized truffles. Then the rind is covered with a fine coat of
black charcoal to insure its exterior aspect looks like a truffle.

snowy white and in the early part of the cheeses maturing process tends to be
slightly crumbly; it melts in the mouth.

milky overtone. This sensation of freshness leaves a seductive after taste of
