Sheep's milk Manchego with real black truffle, nutty and earthy.
From La Lavenda in La Mancha, Spain, this is a sheep's milk Manchego-style cheese with real black truffle worked through the paste.
The paste is firm and pressed, dense and a little oily the way good sheep's milk cheese should be, breaking into clean slabs under the knife with dark veins of truffle running through. On the palate it leads with the classic Manchego nuttiness, toasted hazelnut and a quiet brown-butter pull, then the truffle opens up through the middle and lingers on the finish. Earthy, mushroomy, forest-floor truffle, not the chemically oily flavor you get in lesser truffle cheeses. It tastes like the real thing because it is the real thing.
This sits right in the sweet spot for truffle cheese. The sheep's milk gives it enough backbone to carry the truffle without disappearing, and the truffle is dosed honestly, so it reads as savory depth rather than perfume. One of those cheeses that wins over people who think they don't like truffle cheese.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
Hand-cut to order the day it ships.
