Description Image GEOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL ORIGIN

Truffle Perlè are crafted in Umbria, a region renowned for its deep-rooted truffle traditions and pristine woodlands. The Tuber melanosporum — the celebrated winter black truffle — is foraged in the oak and hazelnut forests surrounding Città di Castello, where generations of truffle hunters and their dogs have preserved the craft. This product combines local tradition with contemporary culinary innovation.

TECHNIQUE AND ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP

These delicate pearls are created through a refined spherification technique, encapsulating pure winter truffle juice in a natural, seaweed-based membrane. This modern method preserves the truffle's complex aroma while offering a visually stunning and texturally unique ingredient. Geofoods ensures only high-quality Tuber melanosporum juice is used, extracted with precision and care.

ORGANOLEPTIC AND NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

The pearls are smooth and glossy, with a luxurious mouthfeel that releases an intense, earthy flavor upon bursting. The juice inside carries the rich, woody, and slightly nutty notes typical of winter black truffles. Low in calories but high in sensory impact, Truffle Perlè provide an elegant way to incorporate the aromatic depth of truffle into a variety of dishes.

CULINARY USE

Perfect as a garnish or flavor enhancer, Truffle Perlè shine on everything from beef tartare to risotto, fresh pasta, creamy soups, and gourmet appetizers. Their spherical shape adds visual sophistication, while their flavor transforms even the simplest dishes. Best added just before serving to preserve texture and aroma.

TERRITORY

Città di Castello lies in the Umbrian Alta Valle del Tevere — a Renaissance town surrounded by forests that produce Italy’s most renowned truffles. With its truffle fair tradition spanning over four decades, the area is famous for producing one-third of all Italian truffles. The local lifestyle reflects a deep relationship with nature, where truffle hunting is not only a culinary act but a cultural ritual passed down through generations. The region’s microclimate and soil composition make it ideal for wild truffle growth — including the elusive White Truffle, one of the world’s most sought-after ingredients.

Their commitment to environmental stewardship includes the use of eco-conscious harvesting methods that protect the forest ecosystem, and participation in "TrackIT Blockchain" to ensure traceability and authenticity across the entire supply chain.
