Truffles are said to be at their best in Piemonte. It's Piemonte, in the city of Alba, that plays host to the world's largest truffle market, a loud and competitive frenzy of truffle buying and selling. Domenica Bertolusso, who owns a truffle shop in Piobesi d' Alba, has been in the truffle business since the 1960s. One of the few women in this male dominated business, Domenica is passionate about all things Piemontese. Despite the small size of her operation, Tartuflanghe is one of the region's most influential truffle sellers. Domenica started her business with just a few truffle products, but she has expanded her line to include truffle pasta, truffle oil, truffle risotto and truffle polenta.
These summer Piemontese truffles are preserved in extra virgin olive oil. Use them to flavor egg or potato dishes in place of butter.
We believe that truffles jarred at the peak of freshness retain their flavor better than truffles shipped or flown here in their whole form. With these jarred truffles, you can indulge in one of Italy's greatest treasures without blowing a hole in your budget.
Toss this truffle butter with pasta or add to risotto or potatoes in place of butter.
