Italian Truffle Gift Set
Italian Truffle Pantry Set
This is the easiest way to bring truffles into your kitchen without starting with fresh truffles. Price includes standard shipping within the continental US.
The Italian Truffle Pantry Set gives you five different ways to use truffle flavor, from simple weeknight food to a more finished dinner plate. Use the salt or oil when a dish just needs a final aromatic lift. Spoon tartufata into pasta or onto crostini. Melt the white truffle butter into warm potatoes, eggs, steak, mushrooms, or risotto. Finish with summer truffle carpaccio when you want visible slices of truffle on the plate.
For anyone new to truffles, this set takes away the guesswork. You do not need a truffle shaver, a special recipe, or a restaurant kitchen. Start with foods you already know — eggs, pasta, potatoes, popcorn, pizza, mushrooms, steak, warm bread — and learn what each truffle product does best.
Selected by Gentleman Forager, this set is a good introduction for home cooks, a useful pantry upgrade for chefs, and an easy gift for someone who likes food enough to notice the difference.

Each item in this set does something a little different, which is what makes the set useful.
Tartufata Truffle Sauce
Use tartufata when you want something savory, earthy, and more substantial than a finishing oil or salt. Spoon it onto crostini, fold it into warm pasta, spread it on pizza or flatbread, stir it into risotto, or use it with scrambled eggs, omelets, steak, roasted potatoes, mushrooms, burgers, grilled cheese, or roasted vegetables. It also works well as a base for a quick cream sauce.White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Use the oil when a finished dish needs aroma. Drizzle lightly over pasta, risotto, pizza, eggs, popcorn, roasted potatoes, soups, grilled vegetables, mushrooms, steak, crostini, or warm bread. A little goes a long way. Add it after cooking, not as a high-heat cooking oil.Himalayan Pink Salt with Truffle
Use the salt anywhere you would normally finish with salt but want the dish to feel more special. Try it on eggs, fries, roasted potatoes, popcorn, buttered noodles, pasta, avocado toast, tomatoes, grilled meats, mushrooms, roasted vegetables, or warm bread with butter. Start with a small pinch and add more only if needed.White Truffle Butter
Use the butter when you want richness and truffle flavor together. Melt a small spoonful into mashed potatoes, pasta, risotto, scrambled eggs, steak, mushrooms, roasted vegetables, baked potatoes, corn, rice, or warm bread. It is especially good as a finishing butter for simple foods that need one last layer of flavor.Summer Truffle Carpaccio
Use the carpaccio when you want visible slices of truffle on the plate. Place a few slices over warm pasta, risotto, pizza, soft eggs, steak, potatoes, mushrooms, crostini, creamy soups, or composed plates just before serving. The warmth of the food helps open the aroma.Easy ways to use the set together
- For pasta, stir in tartufata, finish with a little white truffle oil, and add carpaccio on top.
- For eggs, cook them simply, then finish with truffle butter or truffle salt.
- For potatoes, use truffle butter while warm and finish with truffle salt.
- For crostini, spread tartufata on toasted bread and finish with a slice of carpaccio.
- For popcorn, use a light drizzle of truffle oil and a pinch of truffle salt.
- For steak or mushrooms, finish with truffle butter and a small pinch of truffle salt.
Add truffle products near the end of cooking or just before serving. Warm food helps open the aroma, but high heat can dull it. Start small, taste, and build from there.
