Tartuflanghe

Tartuflanghe

Tartuflanghe produces truffle specialities and chocolate Tartufi Dolci in Piedmont. Despite their truffle-like shape and name, Tartufi Dolci contain no truffle. The range includes Tartufo Bianco, Tartufo al Pistacchio and Tartufo al Caramello. Tartuflanghe calls these chocolates Trifulot, a Piedmontese dialect term. Piedmont hazelnuts, nougat chocolate, cocoa and flavour-specific ingredients form the basis of the different varieties; Piedmont Hazelnut PGI is used in the range.

The family business in the Langhe also makes savoury truffle products. Sauces and olive oils are prepared with summer truffle, Tuber aestivum, while selected products use white truffle, tartufo bianco. The range includes Salsa al Parmigiano e Tartufo, truffle butter and truffle caviar, a product used particularly in restaurant cooking but also suitable for use at home.

Tartufissima truffle pasta from Tartuflanghe

The Tartufissima range includes several pasta shapes and preparations with truffle. Pasta al Tartufo can be served with other products such as truffle olive oil or truffle butter. Truffle honey, Miele al Tartufo, is traditionally paired with strongly flavoured cheeses including blue cheese and Pecorino. The oak tree appears on Tartufissima packaging as a symbol of the relationship between truffles and their habitat.
