Full Description
The company has developed the following products to elevate truffle use in a modern way and to expand its applications in the cuisine, making it versatile for all kinds of recipes and occasions.

Black Truffle Peanut Butter
This unique twist on classic peanut butter explores new gastronomic territory by combining the unmistakable taste of black truffle with natural peanut, chocolate or coconut flavors. This innovative formulation uses natural flavors to enhance the earthy, intense notes of black truffle without overpowering the smooth taste of peanuts. Each variation provides a new sensory experience, perfect for pairing with toast, fruit, or desserts, making it ideal for gourmet snacking and culinary adventures.

Artisanal Truffle Potato Chips
These artisanal truffle chips come in 3 unique flavor combinations, marrying the richness of fresh potatoes with exclusive ingredients:
• Black Truffle: Crispy, golden chips infused with rich black truffle flavor, offering an elevated, gourmet snack experience with earthy, umami flavors
• Kimchi and Truffle: a bold mix of fermented and spicy kimchi—a traditional Korean condiment—and truffle, offering a unique complexity that combines umami, mild spiciness, and earthy flavors.
• Butter and White Truffle: the pairing of butter and white truffle creates a rich, creamy taste with the refined fragrance of white truffle in every bite, making it an indulgent and sophisticated snack for those looking for an elevated flavor experience.

Truffle Gin
This creation brings together classic gin botanicals and the delicacy of white truffle mixed with ginger and Szechuan pepper botanicals, producing a truly unique tasting experience. Infused with white truffle essence, the gin gains depth and aromatic complexity when mixed in cocktails. As an innovation in the spirits landscape, this gin is crafted for unique cocktails and new aromatic drink experiences.

Powder Seasonings in 7 Ethnic Flavors Combined with Truffle
These powdered seasonings combine truffle with ethnic flavors in seven variations, from curry to chili, kimchi, pesto, and more. This innovation brings an exotic and refined touch to any dish thanks to the versatility of truffle. Each spice blend has been carefully balanced to enhance authentic flavors without masking the distinct aroma of truffle, making it adaptable to recipes from any culinary culture.

Truffle Caviar
Truffle caviar represents a true innovation in the presentation and use of truffle in cuisine. These gelified pearls hold the intense aroma of black truffle, ideal for garnishing gourmet dishes. Thanks to spherification technology, truffle caviar combines visual elegance with taste, bringing a refined and high-level culinary element to any dish.
Advantages and Innovations
The company has developed an innovative approach in the snack and aperitif sector by combining the unmistakable aroma and flavor of truffle with ethnic ingredients, like kimchi, to create unique, contemporary taste experiences.

This strategy not only enhances the truffle but also explores international flavors, offering consumers an unprecedented snacking experience.

For instance, the truffle kimchi is a powder seasoning for chips that merges the bold, fermented intensity of kimchi with the premium taste of truffle, blending two culinary worlds into a perfectly balanced flavor. Similarly, the company has created powder seasonings with ethnic flavors like soya, curry, and other iconic recipes/ingredients from various cultures, tailored for those seeking bold yet sophisticated snacking experiences.

The company can customize the recipes for specific markets, adapting to local preferences and proposing combinations that balance tradition and innovation.

For example, in Central and South American markets, the company can create truffle-based seasonings and snacks that incorporate flavors like guacamole and chimichurri, crafting products that reflect local culinary culture with the elegance of truffle.

The ability to personalize these creations represents a strategic key to enter markets with distinctive tastes, offering a truly unique snacking experience that unites global inspiration with tradition.
