Description
Black truffle Bagnoli Irpino 1KG
From the volcanic soils and pristine forests of southern Italy comes one of Europe’s most intriguing culinary treasures: the Black Truffle of Bagnoli Irpino, known locally as Il Nero di Bagnoli. Celebrated by Michelin-starred chefs and connoisseurs across Italy, this rare truffle grows naturally in the untouched woodlands of the Monti Picentini, nourished by chestnut, hazel, and beech trees that infuse it with unmistakably complex aromatic tones.
Bagnoli Irpino’s unique terroir gives its black truffle extraordinary character. Its aroma is rich yet refined, with notes of roasted nuts, dried mushroom, cocoa, damp forest floor, and sweet spice. Texturally, it is firm and marbled, slicing into elegant flakes perfect for finishing risotto, pasta, carpaccio, eggs, tagliatelle, and artisan butter preparations. When gently warmed, it releases an exquisite perfume that elevates even the simplest dish into a memorable gastronomic experience.
Unlike synthetic truffle oils or artificially flavored pastes, Nero di Bagnoli Irpino is 100% natural, harvested only in-season by licensed local truffle hunters and specially trained dogs. This traditional approach ensures sustainability and protects the delicate ecosystem. Each truffle is hand-selected at peak maturity, guaranteeing optimal flavor and aromatic depth.
What makes this truffle exceptional is its culinary versatility. Compared to the winter black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum), the Bagnoli Irpino variety offers a warmer, rounder flavor profile that pairs beautifully with dairy-based sauces, aged cheeses, root vegetables, and fine cuts of meat. It performs exceptionally well both shaved raw and lightly sautéed, making it an indispensable ingredient for discerning chefs.
Every order is traceable to the harvest zone, ensuring authenticity and freshness. We work directly with small-scale foragers in the Campania region, bypassing long distribution chains and delivering a superior product at its aromatic peak. Refrigerated transport maintains ideal conditions from forest to kitchen, preserving fragrance, firmness, and culinary integrity.
For restaurants, premium grocers, and private clients, the Black Truffle of Bagnoli Irpino embodies Italian heritage, craftsmanship, and regional pride. Add it to your seasonal menu, elevate your cuisine, or surprise guests with the unmistakable taste of southern Italy’s most celebrated hidden treasure.
