Tartufo Royale Box

Tasting Notes of the Curator

The Tartufo Royale Box offers a culinary experience steeped in luxury and tradition. Fresh Winter Truffles (Tuber Melanosporum-First choice Approx 50g from Italy) are the highlight, bringing a bold, earthy aroma and complex flavor that is both musky and nutty, elevating any dish to extraordinary. La Malva Rosa Pappardelle All’uovo Pasta, crafted with rich eggs and golden semolina, provides a tender, velvety base that allows the truffle’s depth to shine. Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Stravecchio, aged 36 months, adds a crystalline texture and a nutty, savory flavor with hints of browned butter and caramel, perfectly complementing the truffle. Bordier Crème Fraîche lends its tangy creaminess to enhance the richness of the other components. Completing the box is Ferraton Père et Fils Saint Joseph La Source, a Rhône Valley red wine with bold notes of blackberries, violets, and a touch of spice, creating a perfect harmony of flavors.

The Art of Truffle Elegance

The Tartufo Royale Box invites you to indulge in the allure of the truffle, known as “black diamonds” of the culinary world. Winter truffles, harvested at the peak of their season, offer unparalleled intensity and complexity, transforming simple dishes into masterpieces. The pairing of these truffles with Parmigiano Reggiano, a cheese revered as the “King of Cheeses,” showcases a tradition of luxury rooted in centuries of Italian culinary heritage. La Malva Rosa Pappardelle, made using time-honored techniques, provides the ideal canvas to highlight the truffle’s richness. The addition of a Rhône Valley wine like Ferraton Père et Fils Saint Joseph La Source brings depth and elegance, making this box a celebration of holiday indulgence and refined taste.
