All the drama of shaving truffle at the table, without the truffle slicer or the nervous hand.

This grinder from Ugo Tartufi's truffle range contains dried black summer truffle, ready to grind directly over the finished dish. Drying concentrates the truffle's character and keeps it ready whenever the mood strikes, and the compact grinder sits happily beside the salt and pepper at the table.

Freshly ground, it releases a warm, earthy aroma with a nutty, savoury flavour. A little goes a long way, and it lifts simple food instantly. Add it at the very last moment, as heat dulls the aroma.

Grind it over buttery tagliolini, a creamy risotto or softly scrambled eggs just before serving.
