Truffle Cheese
The combination of creamy Brie or Camembert with the earthy, intoxicating aroma of premium Manjimup truffles creates a sensory experience that will impress even the most discerning palates. This foolproof method requires minimal effort but delivers maximum impact, making it perfect for entertaining guests or elevating your cheese board to restaurant quality. The patience required during the infusion period is handsomely rewarded with a cheese that captures the essence of one of the world’s most prized culinary treasures.
Serves
8-10
INGREDIENTS
- 1kg Brie or Camembert (or both for variety)
- Truffle crumb or Preserved Truffle
Note: Both options deliver amazing flavour; choose based on your preference
Serving Suggestions
- Arrange on a cheese board with French bread or crackers
- Pair with a light white wine or champagne
- The truffle-infused cheese makes an excellent centerpiece for a cheese course or appetizer spread
METHOD
With a piece of string, split the cheese horizontally to form 2 discs:
- Make a small indentation around the center of the cheese
- Place the string in this indentation
- Pull the string through to cut the cheese into two even halves
Apply your choice of truffle product:
- For truffle crumb:
- Generously spread the truffle crumb over the cut surfaces of both cheese halves
- Be liberal with the application for maximum flavour
- For preserved truffle:
- Drain and slice the preserved truffle into thin pieces
- Place the truffle slices over the cut side of one cheese half
- Reassemble the cheese by placing the halves back together
Rewrap the cheese in its original paper or cheese wrapping
Place in the refrigerator:
- Minimum 5 days (as mentioned in the video)
- Ideally 10 days (as mentioned in the description) for maximum flavor infusion
- This time allows the truffle flavor to permeate the cheese fully
Before serving:
- Remove from refrigerator approximately 2 hours before serving to allow the cheese to come to room temperature
Truffle Tip 1
It’s best to crush Truffle with a fork to extract the most flavour. Using the fork breaks open the spores and liberates the notes of their perfume as well as creates different sizes that will excite your tastebuds while eating the dish.
Truffle Tips 2
A little-known fact about the Winter black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum) is that transferring the flavours from the truffle to the requires time and heat.
It’s common in restaurants to see Truffle sliced raw over the top of a dish. This is not the only way to use Winter black Truffle Tuber Melanosporum. The slicing of raw Truffle over a dish is special to only one truffle, the white truffle Tuber Magnatum from Alba.
