Tartuflanghe was founded
Beppe and his wife Domenica foundedTartuflanghe. Their idea is based on selecting and certifying the quality of AlbaWhite Truffle and ship it all over the world. Innovative ideas then came out from the processing of truffles, which did not only include fresh ones.

Rethinking truffle
Truffle is not invented, but it can be re-imagined. In 2010, Perlage was created: made by directly extracting black truffle juice during cooking and transforming it into spheres similar to caviar.

To the frontiers of flavor, and beyond
Tartuflanghe created NoH2O®, the most advanced system for the natural preservation of precious truffles in the world. A cryodesiccation process capable of maintaining the organoleptic, nutritional and aromatic characteristics of all truffle species, including the Alba White Truffle.

Truffle for everyone
The experience gained in the processing of truffles and its use in recipes that can understand and go beyond tradition are the foundation for Tartuflanghe’s “democratic” revolution. Chips, Truffle bite and Dried fruits coated with truffle juice, bring out the essence of flavor to the everyday table: truffles are truly for everyone.
