Created by Antonio Carpenedo, Perla Grigia, which translates as “gray pearl”, is the original truffle cheese preserved under ash, or sotto cenere in Italian. This cow’s milk cheese, produced in Veneto, is quite soft and smooth with the distinct characteristic of actual small slices of black truffle incorporated into the paste. Its rind is rubbed with a mixture of beechwood ash and spices that allows the cheese to remain soft and gives it its gorgeous, pearly appearance.
