Zigante Tartufi Black Truffle Carpaccio — Tuber Aestivum, in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Zigante Tartufi Black Truffle Carpaccio — Tuber Aestivum, in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The unmistakable flavor of black truffle, ready to use year-round. Zigante Tartufi’s Black Truffle Carpaccio is crafted from hand-selected Tuber Aestivum — premium summer black truffles harvested at peak season from a third-generation family farm in Croatia, one of Europe’s most celebrated truffle regions. Each truffle is expertly sliced and preserved in a carefully balanced blend of extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, and salt to maintain its natural texture and earthy depth.

The result is a crisp, al dente bite that closely mirrors the experience of fresh black truffle — without the seasonality, without the prep, and at a price point that makes luxury accessible.

Why It Stands Out

• Tuber Aestivum — premium summer black truffle variety
• Hand-selected at peak season from a third-generation Croatian farm
• Preserved in extra virgin olive oil — no artificial flavoring
• Al dente texture — closest to fresh truffle of any preserved format
• Quality on par with French and Italian truffles at a competitive price
• Pre-sliced and marinated — no prep needed, gourmet-ready

Flavor Profile
