Truffles are hunted in secret places along the picturesque
Italian hillsides, usually under the cover of dark. The specially trained
dogs that find the Truffles and dig them up had better not eat them! Wars
could be – and probably have been – started over a handful
of these rare, subterranean fungi, Truffles! While Italians have plotted
against one another just for a taste of Truffles, Americans have largely
been left out. But now, thanks to new infusions in an array of products
from oils to flour, everyone can enjoy –and afford – this
earthly treasure, the Truffle!

Our black truffle flour was recently featured in La Cucina Italiana magazine,

flour is all washed up after Truffles.” Enough said!
