White Truffles (Tuber magnatum)
Our White Truffles, known as the “Diamonds of the Kitchen”, are among the most prized and luxurious culinary ingredients in the world. Harvested in the autumn and winter months, these rare truffles are renowned for their intense, garlicky, and musky aroma and delicate, nutty flavor. Unlike black truffles, white truffles are best enjoyed raw, as their exquisite fragrance is highly volatile and diminishes with cooking.
