The "Vellutata" is a fragrant and delicate preparation that will allow you to embellish canapés, croutons, risotto and boiled meats.
Ingredients: 10% Black Winter Truffles (Tuber Melanosporum Vitt), Brumale truffle (Tuber Brumale Vitt), champignons, truffle broth, extra virgin olive oil.
THE PRODUCER: The estate of San Pietro a Pettine in the heart of Italy’s Umbria region is world renowned for its truffles and run for three generations by the Caporicci family, a dynasty with a deep rooted symbiotic relation to truffle. The legandary property expands over seven hundred acres of ancient woods and protected truffle grounds, centered by a striking Romanesque parish church with fourteenth-century frescoes and early Christian artifacts and surrounded by breathtaking views on the valley between Assisi and Spoleto. This land produces some of the finest truffles of Italy, from the precious white truffles hidden along the Maroggia River to the sweet scented black truffles from the high lands of Manciano, Ponze and Pigge.
“There are some special places that some people love to call “places of the soul”; San Pietro a Pettine is one of these places, at least for me. It is perhaps because of the mystical atmosphere that envelops you when you enter the thirteenth-century church of the same name; because of the panoramic view on the Umbrian valley laying between Assisi and Spoleto or perhaps because of the feeling that a benevolent God is there to guide you through our centuries-oldwoods, among protected and reserved truffle grounds. I love its intense, absolute black, the mesmerizing design of its thin marble lines, its scent that doesn’t succumb to anything, an essence that becomes substance”
