Tartufissima N19- Tagliatelle al Tartufo- Egg pasta with truffle

The Tartufissima N19 is the first truffle pasta ever produced in the world. The “Tartufissima Pasta” began in 1990, thanks to the experience and culinary imagination of Beppe, chef and founder of Tartuflanghe.

Two years later the Tartufissima N19 was awarded as “Outstanding new product” at Fancy Food Summer Show of New York City.

This success is due to its special characteristics: the completely hand-made shapewhich gives an extraordinary texture to the pasta, the high percentage of truffle, the sophisticated and well-balanced taste, and the great number of eggs that enhance the flavor of the truffle. 

In 2012 our Tartufissima pasta has been chosen by Oprah Winfrey and included in the “Oprah’s favorite things“, the famous list drawn up by the American anchorwoman for the Christmas festivity.

 ABOUT TARTUFLANGHE, ALBA, PIEMONTE, ITALY

Tartuflanghe is an Italian company that was founded by Beppe Montanaro and his wife Domenica Bertolusso.in 1975. The company’s name derives from an intuition that Domenica had: she joined the Italian word for “truffle” with the name of the original territory of this precious tuber, the Langhe area. Their idea is based on selecting and certifying the quality of Alba White Truffle and ship it all over the world. Tartuflanghe is located a few kilometers from Alba, the capital of the Langhe, the most important treasure chest of the White Truffle, the Tuber Magnatum Pico that is also named after Alba.
