Truffled Soft Cheese with Mushrooms and Pancetta
Well this is a bit naughty but sooo nice. You must have some fresh bread, or great crackers to mop this up with, let nothing go to waste. In all honesty, it is hard to leave this alone. The recipe is from our friend Vince Garreffe and it is full of his natural Italian flair, so cue the opera. You will find yourself in Milan in no time!
