La Tavola Tartufo

Tasting notes of the Curator

La Malva Rosa Tajarin Egg Pasta is delicate yet structured, with a silky bite that speaks of Northern Italian tradition. Tajarin, known for its fine strands and generous egg content, carries sauces with elegance. Its golden hue hints at richness, and once cooked al dente, it offers a supple texture that feels almost buttery on the palate without heaviness.

La Malva Rosa Pesto Tartufo deepens the experience. The perfume of truffle rises immediately—earthy, forest-like, and lingering. Beneath that aromatic intensity is a savory base that balances herbaceous notes with a gentle nuttiness. It clings beautifully to pasta, coating each strand with a luxurious sheen and a persistent umami finish.

Marius Hummus with Cumin introduces warmth and creaminess. The cumin lends a soft spice—aromatic rather than fiery—lifting the chickpeas’ natural sweetness and adding a Mediterranean accent. It is smooth, comforting, and quietly complex.

Angelina Organic Salt Flower & Caramelized Almonds Dark Chocolate 56% Bar closes the meal with contrast. The dark chocolate is rounded and cocoa-forward, not overly bitter, while shards of caramelized almond add crunch and toasted depth. A whisper of salt sharpens every bite, creating a balanced, lingering sweetness that feels both indulgent and composed.

Pairings and Suggestions

This bundle naturally comes together for a simple yet impressive dinner.

Truffle Tajarin in Minutes

Boil the tajarin in generously salted water until al dente.

Reserve a splash of pasta water before draining.

Toss the pasta with La Malva Rosa Pesto Tartufo, loosening with a little reserved water to create a glossy sauce.

Finish with cracked black pepper and a drizzle of good olive oil if desired.

Serve the Marius Hummus with Cumin on the side, topped with olive oil and perhaps a sprinkle of paprika, alongside warm bread or crisp vegetables for contrast.

End the evening with squares of Angelina dark chocolate. Pair it with espresso, black tea, or even a glass of bold red wine. The salt and caramelized almonds echo beautifully with roasted coffee notes or structured tannins.

In the Quiet of the Italian Table

There is something timeless about egg pasta and truffle. In Northern Italy, tajarin has long been associated with celebration—its richness once reserved for Sundays and special gatherings. Truffle, meanwhile, is a symbol of the land’s hidden luxury: found beneath soil, treasured for its aroma, never loud but always unforgettable.

This bundle captures that spirit of understated indulgence. It is not extravagant in quantity, but generous in experience. The cumin-scented hummus adds a Mediterranean bridge, reminding us that good food often travels and evolves, while dark chocolate with sea salt speaks to the universal love of contrast—sweet and savory, soft and crisp, comfort and sophistication. It is a gift that says: sit down, slow down, savor.
