DISTINCTIVE QUALITIES: Fresh winter white truffles from Italy (Tuber Magnatum Pico) are available only from October-December. Also called Piedmont, or Alba truffles, these wild Italian truffles are treasured for their intense aroma and earthy flavors that resemble the chestnut, oak, or hazelnut trees from which they grow beneath. The firm flesh presents itself in beautifully marbled tones of ivory, cream, and light caramel.

This decadent treat can be paired with almost any dish to elevate its status. You can thinly shave truffles over pasta, risotto, or carpaccio. Infuse them with butter and drizzle over mashed potatoes for a Michelin star experience at home. 

BEHIND THE PRODUCT: Specially-trained dogs have replaced this career that traditionally once belonged to pigs. This is because the pigs naturally devoured too many of their finds!
