Among the most revered ingredients in the culinary world, Italian Fresh White Truffles are the pinnacle of luxury and rarity. Harvested seasonally in Northern Italy - most famously around Alba - these truffles are prized for their intoxicating aroma, complex flavor, and fleeting availability. They are never cultivated, only foraged, making each truffle a true natural treasure.
Unlike black truffles, white truffles are never cooked. Their value lies in their volatile aromatics, which are released when shaved paper-thin over warm dishes just before serving. One small shaving transforms simple ingredients into an unforgettable experience.
Aroma: Intensely fragrant; notes of garlic, shallot, aged cheese, wild honey
Taste: Deeply savory with subtle sweetness and mineral complexity
Finish: Long-lasting, luxurious, and unmistakably rich
White truffles are more aromatic than flavorful on their own - their magic lies in how they perfume an entire dish.
