What makes truffle cheese so special?

Truffle cheese has a unique and luxurious flavour thanks to the truffles. It is a perfect combination of the earthy, umami flavour of truffles and the rich, creamy texture of cheese.

What do you drink with truffle cheese?

Truffle cheese goes well with a light white wine like Chardonnay, a fruity rosé or even a soft red wine. For a more upmarket experience, pair it with champagne or a good port.

Serving and variation tips:

Extra herbs: Add extra herbs like thyme, oregano or a little nutmeg for an extra boost of flavour.
Other vegetables: Vary with vegetables and replace the aubergine with grilled peppers or spinach, for example. These vegetables add depth to the flavour.
Wine recommendation: Pair the moussaa with a delicious glass of wine, for example the Henri Willig Organic Merlot Wine.
