Truffles
CloseTruffles are revered in French and Italian gastronomy and are now the focal point of Michelin starred dishes around the world. Truffles are difficult to grow commercially which makes their unique earthy flavour a symbol of luxury. Truffle ‘hunters’ carefully guard the secrets of where they find truffles in the wild.
Truffles are extremely seasonal. And so the season is prolonged by preserving them in oils, sauces, and pestos. Drizzle truffle oil over roast meat, grilled mushrooms or white fish. Truffle sauces and pestos make delicious canapes spread on crackers, or – be a purist – and simply stir through pasta.
Our favourite truffle brands
The majority of our truffle products come from Marini & Azzolini who have been collecting and producing truffle products for over 50 years. They are based in Acqualagna, the home of Italy's truffle market and sell a full range of truffle oils, truffle butters, honeys and freeze dried truffles.
We also love La Favorita's truffle products which are based around the idea of high-quality local produce and simple ingredients. A family company based in the north of Italy, their spreads have won multiple awards and their truffled red sauce won The Gold Award at the 2006 New York “Fancy Food Show”.
