Alba white truffle from Piedmont

The Alba white truffle is regarded worldwide as the queen of truffles. It grows in the hills of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato in Piedmont, where chalky soils and damp autumns create ideal conditions. Its scent is so intense it fills an entire room.

We source our Alba truffles through long-standing contacts in the region and check every truffle for firmness, aroma and ripeness, so you receive truffles in Switzerland that were found in Piedmont only days before.

White truffles are never cooked. They are shaved paper-thin over a warm, simple dish: classically buttered tajarin, risotto, eggs or mashed potatoes. That is how their aroma unfolds completely.
