White truffles also named the “truffle diamond”, are best for tasting during the autumn and winter seasons of each year. Every morning in the frosty winter down in Italy, truffle hunters and their trusted dogs set out to gather the most elusive and delicious of all fresh truffles, also known as the “King of Truffles”.
With its intoxicating scent and luxurious flavor, it inspires chef Nicholas for his new truffle menu creation. Savor these white diamonds over risotto, eggs, pasta, and even mashed potatoes, since the bulk of their flavor lies in the strong scent. The heat of the dish brings out the distinct aroma of winter white truffles for a fabulous palate, raising the overall dining experience to another level.
The Alba white truffle tasting menu at Ristorante il Teatro includes chilled langoustine with crustacean gelee, and Kristal caviar, Fassone veal tenderloin, tonnato cream, artichoke, and a caper berry, but also chestnut cream, with Alba white truffle, and seared goose liver, Tagliolini Piemontesi, Alba white truffle, anchovy, 84-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and also New Zealand Te Mana lamb rack with pistachio crust, and lamb jus. The menu ends with Zabaglione, a traditional creamy, light, and classic Italian dessert made with egg yolks caster sugar, and sweet wine. It’s simple, elegant, and incredibly tasty.
