White Truffle Cream

White Truffle Cream by Cortisana — a base of porcini mushrooms (Boletus edulis and related species) and olive oil, with white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) at 1%, salt and a touch of truffle flavouring. The aromatic of the rare white truffle is fragile and concentrated; here it is supported by the body of the porcini and stabilised with natural truffle flavouring.

The Tuber magnatum Pico is the white truffle of Alba — among the most prized truffles in Italy, gathered between October and December across Piemonte and a few other regions. At 1% of the recipe it is a signature aromatic element, not the base; the body of the cream comes from Boletus edulis (porcini), the king of Italian mushrooms — earthy, meaty, deeply savoury. A natural truffle flavouring stabilises the white truffle's volatile aroma so it survives in the jar.

Cortisana is an Italian brand built around a careful selection of authentic products from the Italian culinary tradition — a focus on Italianness, on simple ingredients and on the pleasure of eating well. Use a teaspoon over fresh tagliatelle with a knob of butter, off the heat; stir into a finished risotto at the last moment; spoon onto a crostino with EVO; alongside soft scrambled or fried eggs; over gnocchi with Parmigiano; with polenta. After opening, keep refrigerated.
