For Love of Truffles
After a century of perfecting caviar, the Petrossian family brings that same experience and expertise to truffles. Carefully selected from the forests of Europe, we've transformed these hidden treasures into rich, decadent truffle products for you to enjoy in your own home. From mouth-watering oils and sauces to truffle-infused pastas and chocolates, our La Truffe collection will invigorate your senses and inspire your recipes, whether you're an acclaimed chef or a dedicated amateur.
While truffles tend to be categorized as black or white truffles, with variations by the season such as summer or winter truffles, their name refers to their harvesting rather than the season in which they should be consumed. With distinct flavors, each type of truffles brings their own touch to any dish in which they are included. The La Truffe collection features the finest of these truffles selected by the Petrossian family to impart their flavors on the collection’s unique creations. Share our love of truffles with your loved ones and experience a new breadth of flavors across all seasons.
Summer Truffles
Summer truffles are known for their lighter, brighter flavors than their winter counterparts and the La Truffe collection features Piedmont Whites in many of our truffle sauces and creations. Take, for example, our Piedmont White Truffle Olive Oil. Renowned as the most aromatic of truffles, Piedmont Whites invigorate our luscious olive oil with an intoxicating scent, earthy notes and that irresistible gush on the palate. One of our best sellers, this incredible olive oil is as hard to keep in stock in the kitchen as it is for us to keep in stock ourselves, so when it is available, it’s a must-buy!
Truffle sauces are a wonderful way to incorporate truffles into almost any creation in the kitchen and with a selection from La Truffe, you won’t have to look far to find something you’ll love. Two of our featured sauces are our Tomato Basil Truffle Sauce and our Summer Truffle Mushroom Sauce. Tomato and basil are among the classic Italian combinations, but when you add the delicate notes and earthy aromas of fresh summer truffles, you create something truly sublime. Elevate your home cooked pizza with an entirely new delightful set of flavors for something truly astounding that everyone will love.
In our Summer Truffle Mushroom Sauce, we take our love of mushrooms to new heights. You don’t need to be a five-star chef to reach for the enticing aromas and savory warmth of imported summer truffles. Your entire cookbook can now benefit from this rich, creamy mushroom sauce as either a luxurious topping or a key ingredient. Whether over pizza or pasta, drizzled on grilled asparagus for an added gush of flavor, or whatever other recipe you can imagine, the possibilities abound.
An easy way to include truffles in any recipe is with truffle-infused pasta. Easy and delicious, our Summer Truffle Tagliatelle means flowing ribbons of truffled bliss in every bite. Fresh Italian pasta is the centerpiece of any great family gathering and these bright, summer truffles will delight your clan. These heavenly noodles pair well with any of our truffle sauces, and can also be prepared with a drizzle of either white or black olive oil and melted French butter with a pinch of garlic.
Another wonderful option for this pasta is to keep it simple in its preparation with just a tiny amount of light oil and butter, and top it with one of our fine caviars. The salt and brine of the caviar will balance out the rich truffle flavor for a unique taste on the palate. Because truffles have a relatively rich flavor, we recommend using lighter summer truffle variations, should you choose to make the tagliatelle with a truffle olive oil. Pair with a briny, more intense caviar on top of the pasta so that the first flavor is a burst of brine, followed by the depth of the umami flavor brought out in the truffles.
Our Royal Alverta Caviar is perfect for pairing with this pasta, as it is a potent ingredient and a creative chef's best friend. Its bold, briny and fruity notes cut through sauces and creams, enhancing your best recipes and delighting your guests. Don't be afraid to experiment with this robust caviar. It will always find a way to come through and surprise you.
Black Truffles
Known for dark and irresistible flavors, black truffles have a stronger aromatic flavor than their white truffle cousins. Potent and earthy, these tones are excellent in vinegars and oils, drizzled over salads and pastas similar to the summer truffle sauces and oils, but with an even richer flavor to entice the senses.
Our Modena Balsamic Vinegar With Périgord Black Truffles is absolutely irresistible in nearly any dish in which it is included. Modena Balsamic is a dark, rich, subtly-sweet elixir that has been perfected over millennia in the Po Valley of Northern Italy, but even this classic benefits from potent aromatics and earthy tones. Perfect for salads and antipasta, it’s a great way to experiment with new flavors and breathe new life to traditional balsamic recipes.
Périgord Black Truffle Olive Oil is a great way to bring a taste of the hills of Tuscany to your kitchen. Périgord Black truffles are among the world's most intense treasures, offering an inimitable musky aroma and robust, earthy tones. We've lovingly blended their extract with luscious Italian olive oil to create a decadent elixir just for you. Pair with our truffle balsamic vinegar for a homemade salad dressing that will blow you away.
Beyond oil and vinegar, we’ve also included truffle-infused snacks in our collection because sometimes, you just want to reach for a handful of truffle delights. There’s never a wrong time to indulge in the essence of and aroma of truffles, and with our collection of truffle nuts, it’s as easy as opening the bag. Available in almonds, cashews, and mixed nuts, this selection of snacks is also great to use as a topping on salads and sweets wherever nuts are called for. Don’t settle for ordinary nuts, when truffles simply make everything better.
