Urbani Truffles

Amazon is selling this for about 20 $ small 2.6 ounce Jar. In Whole Foods we bought it for 29.99 $.
I can’t tell you how disappointed we were. Before buying this we should have read the reviews, on Amazon at least, for instance. Most customers are not happy after tried that phony truffles. Absolutely tasteless, with no any flavor or aroma, savorless piece of crap. The structure and consistence resemble to a carpaccio of beet or radish may be. But forget about truffles here. We bought this to cook risotto, add shaved truffles would be a great idea, but not this brand. This didn’t give any taste, nor savour or palate. There are other brands that are really great and this one is insipid, vapid and raw. Don’t buy this flavorless imitation of quality. Total mock. I wouldn’t pay even 5 $ for that!

The truffles can’t get much better than those on offer at Urbani. A five start rating is a given.
I wanted to blab a little bit about their customer service.
I placed an order at 5pm, on a Thursday, hoping that would allow for a next day delivery for Friday. I double checked with them on Friday, explaining that I placed the order for a Valentine’s Day dinner. One of their reps pointed out that my order was placed too late, and that I wasn’t going to receive my tubers until Monday (the day after VD).
I was crestfallen, but the rep quickly said that he would put the truffles out Friday, so they could be delivered by Saturday.
Urbani saved Valentine’s Day! Thanks, guys.

For those who knows me, I love truffle to the moon and back. If I could marry Alba white Truffle, I would. Years ago I watched this TV episode on «CBS 60 Minutes» about Italian Truffles, I saw this company was featured on the show, It’s Urbani Truffles. They cover 70% market share of truffle around the world. I saw the owner of the company Olga Urbani. Then I saw this cutie pie The Truffle Hustler. I told myself someday I’m going to meet them.
I dreamt about the day that I can be surrounded with a few hundred lbs for truffles. I would smell like truffle and I would eat as much truffle as I can afford especially during the winter season.
I even dreamt about if I ever get married, my wedding day has to be between OCT-​JAN only, it’s the Alba Truffle season. So that my wedding reception would have white truffle on every dish. Hahaha! (I know I’ve been told I’m crazy before and all my life, nothing new!) I wish someday I can meet a guy that makes me feel the same way I see truffle and wine coming to me :-)
Over two years ago, I found The Truffle Hustler online. Got to love the Social Media how it makes the world a smaller place for me. I follow him on Instagram (more like stalking him haha). Then we became friends on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn too. I’m relentless and determined, very much so :-)
I became a fan of Urbani Truffles. What not to love about them? They ship me the freshest truffles all year around. They offer some of the nicest Alba Truffle you can imagine. Their inventory is insane. They sell their truffles to some of the best restaurants in the world. Think of The French Laundry, Eleven Madison Park, Merea, Babbo, Per Se, Aquarello, SPQR, The Meadowood, Daniel Boulud, Alexander’s Steakhouse, and more. These are some of the restaurants my parents and I frequent and through them, I learn to love truffle even more than ever.
Urbani Truffles also offer the variety of truffle products such as Truffle Curry, Truffle Ketchup (my nieces love it), truffle sauce with mushroom, pesto, basil, porcini, and more. Their truffle oil is legit, not cheezy like those you see at the grocery store. I also love their truffle salts, so good. They can ship to you in U.S. and worldwide. Check out
.
If you live in New York City. You are in luck, come to their flagship store on 10 W End Street, during their office hour 10 am-​5 pm, you can ring the bell and pick up the fresh truffle to go. Nazza, the Italian gentleman there, he’s always ready to serve you. He’s super nice and genuine. You can talk anything truffle with him and he can teach you a thing of two. Plus you get to see more truffle than you have ever seen in your life up close and personal.
In January 2016, I finally got my chance to meet The Truffle Hustler. On a cold morning, I walked 20 blocks from Time Square to Urbani Truffles, a lot of thoughts racing through my head. I didn’t know what to expect. Mike Rojas is probably the only one that is non-​Italian working for Urbani Truffles. He showed me hundreds of truffles. You know how I love wine and I became a Sommelier. I have that same feeling in my wine shop as I was at Urbani Truffles. I got so emotional, I was so happy that I actually cried. Dreams do come true.
I can’t describe how I feel when I saw that much truffles in my life. I saw that episode with The Truffle Hustler and Action Bronson, I thought it would be a perfect day if I could trailing the Truffle Hustler like that:

Guess what, The Truffle Hustler Mike Rojas, took me with him, trailing him to visit some of the best restaurants in NYC, just as the episode on Munchies, that episode «Fuck! That’s delicious.» And everywhere we went, we ate more Urbani Truffles on every dish. I got trufflegasm, literally. Dreams do come true.
Then I went to the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco JAN 2016. I got to meet Urbani Truffles owner Olga Urbani and a lot of people that work for Urbani Truffles. Wow, I couldn’t believe it. Everyone was so nice and wonderful. Dreams do come true.
Visiting Urbani Truffles was a dream came true. And it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. My love for truffle has evolved even deeper to another level. Now I’m looking forward visiting Urbani Truffle in Piedmont, Italy for some truffle hunting in the future.
In a few months, Urbani Truffles will offer a Truffle Lab, it’s a collaboration between Urbani and guest chefs, they will offer monthly truffle dinner at Urbani Truffles flagship store in Manhattan. I can’t wait to come back for that.
Remember, truffle is vegan, vegetarian, gluten-​free, and kosher. It’s low in calory, high in mineral, nutritious, and aphrodisiac :-) And Urbani Truffles is the best place for you to get anything truffle, especially FRESH TRUFFLES!

Urbani has been dedicated to providing the highest quality truffles in the U.S. for years.
Excellent customer service.
Fabulous truffles in all seasons.

High quality truffles. Owner, Nazza, is super nice. I wish I had heard about this place during white truffle season. I have purchased truffles recently at Eataly, Citerella, and Dartagnan in Newark NJ. The black winter truffles from Urabni were by far the best and freshest.
These things are too expensive not to get a perfect one. Here it’s all they do and they done do’s it right.
They have other prodcuts made from truffles, such as truffle salt, butter, flour, and just about anything else you can think of. I am sure they are good but, nothing beats the real geniune article.

We bought black truffles for our holiday dinner. We bought approximately 10oz. for a dinner of 10 people and it cost about $ 240. Unfortunately when we shaved them onto our pasta — it didn’t have a strong truffle flavor. Nazza was extremely helpful and when I returned the unused portion — he offered a refund or store credit.
They are professional and I’ve had truffles from Urbani in the past that were top notch. Like all produce there are sometimes a batch that is not as truffle-​like — but Nazza is a true professional and understands the value of repeat business.
Nazza will always be our first source for all of our truffle needs!

This place is amazing. Their selection and prices are about as good as you’re going to get anywhere around here, or less (they supply all the truffles you’ll get at Citarella or Eataly), and the quality is excellent. The guy who helped me, who might be one of the owners (a young guy with an Italian accent), really knew his stuff, and was super helpful, even helping me smell and pick out the best truffles in the bunch. Highly recommended if you’re splurging! Just know they are only open like 9 – 5 Monday through Friday, and this is more of a warehouse that has a small retail section than a store.
