The most aromatic note on earth is that of truffles and in this selection you can find all our products based on this delicious mushroom.
When it comes to Italian excellence in cuisine, truffles hold a place of honor. Not just an ingredient, but a symbol of refinement, territoriality, and unspoiled nature. On Spaghetti & Mandolino, we have selected only the highest quality Italian truffles, sourced from renowned areas and producers who respect the natural cycle of the forest.
Whether it is the precious white truffle from Alba, the summer black truffle, or the uncinato truffle, each variant encapsulates an entire landscape in its intense aroma. Let yourself be guided through deep flavors, centuries-old stories, and gourmet usage tips to discover all the pleasure of one of the most precious fruits of the earth.
The truffle is, by nature, a rare and unpredictable product. It grows only under specific conditions of humidity, soils, and tree symbiosis. Harvesting cannot be forced: it is the trained truffle dog that finds it in the undergrowth.
Our selection relies solely on expert truffle hunters who handpick each specimen, often at dawn, to ensure freshness and integrity. The subsequent stages of cleaning, selection, and packaging are done manually and in small batches. There are no shortcuts, only passion and respect for a gift of nature.
Among the most virtuous producers are Tartufi Bianconi, Tartuflanghe, and Cisa Alimentari, distinguished by sustainable and innovative harvesting methods or virtuous transformations.
Each variety of truffle has its own character. The white truffle from Alba has pungent notes reminiscent of garlic and aged cheese, with an unexpected sweetness. The black truffle, on the other hand, develops warmer, woodier aromas, ideal for cooked preparations. The summer black truffle, being more delicate, is suitable for a wider range of everyday uses.
Preserved versions, such as ground truffles or whole truffles in oil, maintain much of the original aromatic strength and are perfect for enhancing first courses, appetizers, eggs, meats, and even desserts.
Truffles don't need grand artifices: a simple dish is enough to exalt their nobility.
Pair them with:
artisan egg pasta, such as tagliolini or tajarin, for a classic first course;
soft cheeses or blue cheeses, with which unforgettable contrasts can be created;
eggs, risottos, carpaccios, purees, crostini, but also delicate extra virgin oil to create fragrant dressings.
Alternatively, explore truffle-ready products: truffle pearls, salts, sauces, honeys, and butter are ideal for those who want all the flavor without complications.

The truffle has been known since the times of the Etruscans and Romans, who regarded it as an aphrodisiac and mysterious food. In the Middle Ages, it was served only in noble courts. Today, while still maintaining its aura of luxury, the truffle has become more accessible, never losing its charm.
Beyond its culinary value, it represents a culture made of waiting, patience, and respect for nature.
