Playmouth Cheddar Black Truffle

Plymouth Black Truffle Cheddar — Description, Taste & Texture, Ingredients

Description:
Plymouth Black Truffle Cheddar is an artisan black truffle-infused cheddar crafted by Plymouth Artisan Cheese, one of America’s historic cheesemaking houses in Vermont. This cheese merges the classic heritage cheddar recipe with the luxury of real Italian black truffles, resulting in a gourmet product that adds depth and sophistication to every dish or cheese board. Aged for approximately 60 days, this cheddar is sold in an 8 oz wax-coated block — ideal for slicing, pairing with charcuterie, or elevating recipes from simple snacks to special-occasion fare. The traditional cheesemaking process and quality ingredients reflect a commitment to authentic, flavorful cheese with no unnecessary additives. 

Taste & Texture:
This black truffle cheddar delivers a rich, earthy, and savory flavor profile with the distinctive umami of Italian black summer truffle pieces and finishing notes from touches of white truffle oil. The base cheddar itself is creamy and smooth yet firm, showcasing a balanced sharpness from the aged raw cow’s milk. The truffle infusions create layers of complexity — from woodsy earthiness to gentle savory sweetness — without overpowering the cheese’s own natural character. Texturally, it’s semi-firm with a smooth, slightly elastic bite, making it versatile for straight snacking, melty additions to sandwiches and pastas, or elegant shaving over risotto and salads.

Ingredients:

• Raw cow’s milk — the foundation for Plymouth’s traditional artisanal cheddar.

• Cheese cultures — help develop texture and flavor during aging.

• Rennet — a natural enzyme that curdles milk into cheese.

• Salt — enhances flavor and acts as a natural preservative.

• Italian black truffle morsels — authentic summer truffle pieces that infuse the cheese with earthy, luxurious aroma and taste.

• White truffle oil — adds subtle aromatic depth and smoothness.
