Fresh Black Summer Truffle: Exclusive Craftsmanship and Direct Impression from Southern Italy

The Tuber aestivum arises from a delicate symbiosis with the Southern Italian terroir. As a fresh truffle is a living natural product that loses a small percentage of its moisture and aroma daily, Kelvini delivers exclusively via a personal concierge service. When cut, a beautiful hazelnut brown marbling pattern with fine white veins reveals itself. The aroma profile offers elegant, musky notes of wild forest mushrooms and roasted hazelnuts.

How does our exclusive truffle service work?

  1. Submit your application: Provide the desired weight (minimum 50g) and the preferred delivery date.

  2. Daily price & Check: We immediately verify the current daily price and the conditions at our trifolau in Campania.

  3. Personal Payment Link: You will receive a final proposal with a secure payment link.

  4. The Hunt & Delivery: Once the payment is completed, the dogs will go into the woods. The truffle will be conditioned and sent to you.

Culinary Advice & Dosage

  • Dosage: Count on an average of 10 to 15 grams of fresh summer truffle per person for a main course. With 50 grams, you can prepare a gourmet dinner for 4 people.

  • Application: Shave the fresh truffle just before serving over warm dishes such as egg pasta (Tagliolini), creamy risotto, fried eggs, or grilled veal. The heat of the dish optimally activates the volatile aromas.
