Crutin is an Italian cheese made with cow's milk and black truffle flakes, prepared in Langhe, Piedmont.[1][2] It is a crumbly, pale yellow cheese with a slight citrus and truffle flavour and aroma.[1] The aroma of cellars where it is aged can also be inherent in the cheese.[1] It is typically aged for one to two months.[1]
Crutin is named after "a small cellar excavated from stone", which was used by Langhe farmers for winter storage purposes.[1][3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
