  • Enjoy this short, but sweet, window of opportunity to delight in the wonder of the fresh white truffle!

  • Please remember that weights and prices are approximate. We will weigh your truffle, or truffles, and will contact you via email with your total upon charging your credit card.

  • We receive white Italian truffles several times a week during the season.

  • White Truffles (Tuber Magnatum) are found in both Northern and Southern Italy (Appenini, Molise and Abruzzo Regions).

  • They are the most rare and coveted variety of truffle, are found deeper in the ground than black winter and summer truffles, and were first discovered about 200 years ago.

  • They mature from October to December and are prized for their pungent, musky perfume and distinctive flavor.

  • They have a golden color on the outside and a tan, or cream, colored flesh.

  • We pack them in Arborio rice and paper towels - they can be stored this way for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

  • Don't cook the truffles, they are best consumed raw; typically white truffles are shaved on pasta dishes, risottos, softly scrambled eggs, and salads.

  • Recommended serving size is about 0.25 oz.
