Carpaccio de Trufa Blanca

As is the case with many of the world's top ingredients and spices, obtaining white truffles comes with a good share of difficulties. All truffles are tubers. They grow underground—typically several inches underground. They find their homes alongside roots of trees such as oak, chestnut, and hazelnut, where they take part in a symbiotic relationship, exchanging nutrients and water for needed carbohydrates.

The outer skin of a white truffle is actually more tan in color than the name suggests. When sliced open, you'll find the segments to be light brown with noticeable white veins running throughout. 

Our truffle carpaccio includes paper-thin slices of the Trifola d' Alba Madonna and bathed in a blend of oils. They look beautiful scattered or fanned out across dishes. 

Where to buy white truffle 

While you can sometimes find white truffle in gourmet markets and seasonal markets globally, there are no quality guarantees. Truffles need to be picked at just the right time and flavor and aroma begin to dwindle quickly after they are unearthed. With Slofoodgroup truffle carpaccios, these properties have been preserved for freshness no matter what time of year it is.
