Truffle Chips – Palatine Tartufo

Palatine Tartufo truffle chips, the most elegant way to snack

Tartuflanghe’s truffle chips are thickly sliced potato chips, fried until golden brown in olive and sunflower oil, and seasoned with salt and real powdered summer truffle, rounded off with aroma – gluten-free, made for aperitivo hour.

Palatine Tartufo truffle chips from Tartuflanghe are what happens when a Piedmontese truffle manufacturer takes potato chips seriously: thick slices, fried until golden brown in olive and sunflower oil, and dusted fresh from the fryer with salt and powdered black summer truffle (Tuber aestivum). Snacks meet fine food – and both win.

Real truffle, fine aroma

What sets these chips apart from supermarket truffle chips is something you can smell the moment you open the bag: they are seasoned with real, powdered summer truffle, supported by aroma – earthy, warm, and surprisingly refined. Tartuflanghe makes no exception to their house rule with these chips: the tuber is the star, everything else serves it.

The craftsmanship also has substance: the potato slices are deliberately cut thick, allowing them to retain their bite and potato flavor – golden brown, crispy, gluten-free. They are fried in a blend of olive and sunflower oil and seasoned immediately after frying, when the warm surface best absorbs the salt and truffle powder. Chips for adults, one might say: less noise, more aroma.

For aperitivo, guests, and cozy evenings

Their finest hour comes at aperitivo: a glass of white wine or spumante, a bowl of truffle chips – and the Italian start to the evening is complete. Thanks to their thickness, the chips also hold dips and creams with poise; a lovely touch: a dollop of crème fraîche, a few chives, and some shaved cheese on top.

When it comes to wine, contrasts are welcome: a fresh, acidic white highlights the earthy truffle aroma, while a creamy sparkling wine turns the snack into a small ceremony. The chips also work surprisingly well with beer – try them with a malty Helles lager, and your cozy night in gets an upgrade.

Convenient, too: because the chips are gluten-free, guests with intolerances can tuck in without a second thought – one bowl for everyone, no extra planning required. If you're stocking up for holidays or birthdays, grab two bags; the first one rarely survives the evening.

Experience has shown they are emptied faster than any other bowl when guests are around – serve them at an aperitif, and the first "What are these?" will immediately fill the room. As a companion in the pantry, we recommend the Tartufissima truffle pasta: first chips with a glass, then pasta for dinner, and the truffle evening is perfect.

From the Montanaro truffle family in Alba

Since 1975, Tartuflanghe has been the go-to address for truffles in Piedmont: founded by Domenica Bertolusso and Beppe Montanaro, whose story began in 1968 with fresh truffles and a Michelin-recognized restaurant in Alba. Today, Stefania and Paolo Montanaro run the house in Piobesi d'Alba as the second generation.

That this family produces chips is no coincidence, but a consequence: if you can dry, grind, and preserve truffles better than almost anyone else, you are entitled to refine snacks as well. Over 50 years of truffle expertise goes into every bag – plus the Italian certainty that enjoyment knows no time of day.

You can find more truffle treasures from the same producer on our Tartuflanghe page, and savory seasonings for your own kitchen under herbal & seasoned salts. Warning: highly addictive! This bag is never half-full for long! A beautiful bowl, a cold drink on the side, and people who appreciate the extraordinary – no evening needs more aperitivo than that.
