Fresh Italian truffle, graded and shipped within hours of harvest. Shave thin over risotto, fresh egg pasta, or beef carpaccio.

Wild Alba white truffle from Piedmont, foraged in the Langhe and Monferrato hills between October and December. The most prized truffle on earth, and the shortest season. Alba white is never cooked. The aroma is volatile, garlic and shallot wrapped around honey, hazelnut and warm cheese, and it lifts off the truffle the moment it meets heat. Shave it raw at the table, over something simple and warm, and it does the rest. Classic plates: tajarin pasta with butter, fonduta, soft polenta, fried egg with Parmigiano, white risotto, beef carpaccio. The dish should be plain, hot, and waiting. This is a 10g portion, enough to dress two generous plates or four smaller ones. Sizes and shapes vary, you may receive one piece or two.

Use Cases

How to serve Always raw. Always at the last second. Warm the plate. Plate the food. Carry it to the table. Shave the truffle over the dish in front of the diner using a truffle slicer set thin. Eat immediately. Best pairings Tajarin or tagliolini with butter and a little Parmigiano. Risotto Milanese with no extra herbs. Soft, slow-scrambled eggs. Fonduta. Veal carpaccio. A baked potato, halved and buttered. Never pair with strong herbs, garlic, citrus or vinegar, all of these mask the aroma. Reality check on aroma Fresh truffle in your kitchen smells less aggressive than fresh truffle in a restaurant, this is normal. Restaurants reinforce with truffle butter and oil under the dish. A few drops of white truffle oil on the pasta before shaving the fresh truffle on top will give you that restaurant intensity at home.
