Italian White Truffle
“The White Jewel” That Transforms Dishes — A Miracle Ingredient from Two Renowned Regions
The white truffle (Tartufo Bianco) is one of Italy’s most coveted treasures, adored by gourmets worldwide. With extremely limited harvests and no possibility of cultivation, it is celebrated even more highly than black truffles as a “natural masterpiece that captivates with its aroma.”
Its unparalleled charm lies in its intense yet delicate fragrance that instantly captivates the senses. Simply slicing it over egg dishes, risotto, or pasta elevates the entire dish to a new level of culinary brilliance.
Primary Regions & Season
White truffles are harvested only in limited areas of northern to central Italy, during a short autumn window – typically from mid-October to early December. The main regions include:
• Piedmont (around Alba / Monferrato area)
• Umbria (around Norcia and Perugia)
• Parts of Tuscany
White truffles are extremely delicate, and their fragrance immediately after harvest is critical.
Therefore, the speed of delivery and proper storage are decisive factors in maintaining their exceptional quality.
