Umbrian Black Truffles at Tony’s…
“Nobody knows the truffles I’ve seen…”
Tony’s is Houston’s premier destination for Italian truffles, whether it’s white Alba Truffles from Piedmont in the north or earthy black truffles from Umbria in Central Italy.
We were shocked to read a report that French truffle purveyors are now being allowed to mix Chinese truffles into their own and sell them as French truffles.
Italy has allowed no such thing and it would difficult, in any case, to substitute the inimitable aroma and flavor of classic Italian truffles — whether white or black.
Tony receives his truffles directly from Italy and not from a third-party purveyor or distributor here in the U.S. His long-standing relationship with all of his suppliers guarantees that only the highest quality truffles, from the best hunters, make it to your dinner table.
Why do we store the truffles under glass and atop a bed of rice? In order to prevent damage from unwanted humidity. The way truffles are stored is fundamental.
