Truffle salt with black truffle & flavoring

Truffle salt with black truffle, seasoning with forest floor notes

For this truffle salt, Tartuflanghe combines Guérande salt from the Atlantic with freeze-dried black summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) – 0.3 percent dried, which corresponds to 1.5 percent fresh tuber – and natural flavor. Earthy, robust, suitable for everyday use.

The truffle salt with black truffle from Tartuflanghe is the savory sibling on the manufacturer's spice rack: Grey Guérande sea salt from Brittany meets authentic black summer truffle from Piedmont, gently freeze-dried and finely ground. Earthy and warm in aroma, robust on the palate – a seasoning salt in a 90g jar that turns a Wednesday dinner into a small event.

Real tuber, honest process

As with its white sibling product, Tartuflanghe relies on freeze-drying instead of added flavorings: there is 0.3 percent dried Tuber aestivum in the jar, the equivalent of 1.5 percent fresh truffle. The black specks in the salt are therefore not just decoration, but the tuber itself – forest floor to sprinkle.

The black summer truffle is the most relaxed of the gourmet mushrooms: earthy, nutty, with a fine cocoa note – more robust in character than the white truffle, but never overpowering. Together with the mild, mineral Guérande salt, this results in a seasoning that works daily – and that you can see: the dark truffle specks are evenly distributed throughout the grey salt, a small promise in every jar. Stored in a dry place, the aroma lasts for many months.

For meat, risotto, and roasted potatoes

This salt likes it hearty: on pan-seared beef, braised dishes, mushroom skillets, and polenta. Risotto and pasta get that certain Sunday feeling with a pinch, and roasted potatoes and purée even more so – and on buttered bread, it proves that great cuisine sometimes only requires two ingredients and a pinch of courage.

Sprinkle it on at the end, when the steam lifts the aroma: salt, wait, and be amazed. On a soft-boiled egg or over roasted asparagus, the earthy tone complements the vegetable flavors perfectly. The truffle salt with white truffle is more refined and festive.

And then there are the occasions no one thinks of: fresh popcorn from the pot, oven fries for movie night, avocado toast in the morning – everywhere, a small pinch transforms the ordinary into something worth talking about at the table. The moist Guérande salt is easy to dose between your fingers: no shaker needed, just a feel for it.

Truffle expertise from the second generation

Tartuflanghe was founded in 1975 by Domenica Bertolusso and Beppe Montanaro – following years of truffle trading that began in 1968 in their restaurant in Alba, which was recognized by the Michelin Guide for its mushroom and truffle cuisine. Today, Stefania and Paolo Montanaro continue to run the family business in Piobesi d'Alba.

The house specialty has always been preserving the fleeting: drying, grinding, and infusing truffles into salt and oil – so that Alba tastes like autumn all year round. Over 50 years of experience go into every jar, along with the calm of a business that thinks in generations.

You can find more aromatic salt companions in our category Herb & Spice Salts, and all the treasures from the Montanaros on the Tartuflanghe page. The forest in your spice drawer – heartily good, day after day! And if you are wavering between black and white: take both – the jars get along famously, both in the kitchen and in a gift box.
