Urbani Truffles :: The Best Truffles in the World

Summer Truffles in a variety of preserved forms permits the flavor and aroma of the truffle to be enjoyed throughout the year at a reasonable cost to the consumer. When buying preserved truffle products, always check the label for the Latin name of the product. Any preserved product containing authentic Summer Truffles will always be labeled Tuber Aestivum Vitt. You can purchase Urbani products with confidence because you will always find the Latin names on all of our labels. All of the Urbani line of Summer Truffle preserved products are authentic Tuber Aestivum Vitt and are harvested in Italy. Other companies are known to use a cultivated truffle-like product, Tuber Indicum, commonly known as a Chinese Truffle. This product has little or no flavor and the purchaser is sure to be disappointed. Remember to always check the label because only Urbani Summer Truffles or Tuber Aestivum is a true truffle, often imitated but never duplicated.

In the early 1900’s our uncle, Carlo Urbani, was the first person in the world to experiment in canning and jarring truffles. When Uncle Carlo perfected his novel process, it became possible for truffles to survive transatlantic shipping and effectively be exported from Italy to America. Urbani still uses Uncle Carlo’s basic technique and our family is proud of the fact that we offer the highest quality of preserved truffle product availability across the globe.
