Black Summer Truffles and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Earthy. Nutty. Delicious!
Black Summer Truffles grow in the forests of Umbria and Piedmont, where Urbani’s truffle hunters find these delicacies with the help of specially trained dogs. Black Truffles are less pungent than their more rare white counterparts, and the subtle nutty and earthy notes that make them a perfect complement to traditional dishes like eggs, pasta, and risotto (especially combined with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese).
The festival website allows you to see all participating restaurants and make reservations.
Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to enjoy
amazing Italian seasonal delicacies
The festival runs only one week, starting on June 26 and ending on July 4, 2021. During this week, participating restaurants will offer special items on their menu that combine the distinctive flavors of Urbani Black Truffles with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and the dishes will be accompanied with a selection of hand-picked Italian wines. We suggest that you don’t wait to make reservations, or you may miss the chance to treat yourself to a very special experience.
Add freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and a few thin slices of Urbani Summer Black Truffles
and get ready to enjoy a dish that will transport you to the heart of Italy.
Chef Michele shows you how to create a fine Italian
dining experience, in your kitchen
Chef Michele created a special pasta recipe for the festival that he describes as “A perfect treat for dinner with the one you love”. In fact, the earthy rich flavor of Urbani’s Summer Black Truffles combined with the distinctive taste and texture of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese make this recipe an absolutely decadent and delicious treat. It is very easy to make, takes no time at all, and requires just a few (but very good) ingredients. As a pairing, Chef Michele suggests pouring a nice tall glass of Chianti Classico Riserva by Lamole di Lamole.
