Truffle Sheep’s Milk Cheese: the perfect fusion of tradition and culinary luxury
La Antigua aged sheep’s milk cheese with Tartufo is the result of more than two years of research to achieve the perfect balance between the intensity of aged cheese and the aromatic elegance of natural truffle.
Made in Zamora with raw sheep’s milk and black truffle from Italy’s Piedmont region, this cheese represents the union of Spanish cheesemaking tradition and the sophistication of European haute cuisine.
What makes it unique?
- 100% raw sheep’s milk → an intense, authentic base
- Natural black truffle from Piedmont (1%) → real aroma, with no artificial touches
- Aged for 6 to 12 months → complex flavor development
- Artisanal cellar production
- No artificial essences or flavorings
Only cheese and real truffle. Nothing else.

The result is a cheese that is:

Here, the truffle does not simply accompany: it leads the flavor.
