What is white truffle?

Tuber Magnatum, commonly known as the wild white truffle, is renowned for its exquisite quality. Found in the Western Alps mountain ranges in the Piedmont region of Italy, this truffle is often referred to as tartufo bianco, Truffa d'Alba, Italian truffle or Piemonte truffle. Growing on tree roots, it is a mystery as to why cultivation of this delicacy has never been successful.

The truffle hunters roam the woods with their four-legged partners in search of the precious Tuber Magnatum. Once found, it is taken from the ground, a true discovery. With its scarcity, it is no surprise that this mushroom is one of the most sought-after and luxurious ingredients in haute cuisine.

For more than two generations, our truffle growing partners have been collecting and providing the highest quality of the wild white truffle.

Today, the Tuber Magnatumis, commonly known as the "White Truffle", is found in a variety of Eastern European countries, such as Italy, Croatia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Its unique status as a wild-harvested variety adds to its exclusivity and air of mystery. All white truffles in the world are of wild origin.
