Truffle Salt

The NYC-based condiment artisans at Truffleist present some very nice, hand-harvested sea salt, infused with black summer truffles from northern Italy. The crystals themselves are a traditional variety from Sicily, but crafted in the style of a French grey salt. The Italian truffles bring a rich, earthy, and distinctly truffle flavor and aroma to the blend - and together, they make an awesome concoction to sprinkle on eggs, veggies, dips, popcorn, fries, and pretty much anything else we'd put salt on (read: everything).

Jimmy Kunz was making homemade truffle butter as a gift for friends and family before they convinced him to take the hobby commercial in 2013. Long story short, the Truffleist team imports truffles from France, Italy, and Spain, and handcrafts their truffle-based products in small batches in Long Island City, Queens. Today, they're sharing the uniquely rich flavor profile of the ground-grown fungus with people all over the world - without the elitism and hefty pricetag that typically accompanies fine truffle products.
