Urbani's signature mushroom and truffle sauce — a blend of champignon mushrooms and summer truffle breakings (Tuber aestivum Vitt.) cooked in extra virgin olive oil with garlic, salt, and black pepper. This is Urbani's best-selling truffle product worldwide, and for good reason: it delivers genuine truffle flavour in a jar that is ready to use, versatile, and goes a long way. A teaspoon stirred through hot pasta is enough to transform the dish.

The base is 54% champignon mushroom, which provides body and umami, with 8% summer truffle adding the distinctive earthy, aromatic character. The texture is a rough, spreadable paste — not smooth, not chunky — with visible pieces of truffle and mushroom throughout. The colour is dark, almost black, partly from the sepia ink used in the recipe, which also adds a subtle depth of flavour.

This is a storecupboard staple. Stir it through pasta, spread it on crostini, fold it into risotto, use it as a base for a cream sauce, or add a spoonful to scrambled eggs. It also works well as a finishing element on grilled meats and fish, or mixed into mashed potato for a truffle-scented side.

This sauce is ready to use straight from the jar. No cooking is required — simply stir it into hot food and let the warmth release the truffle aroma.

Pasta: The simplest and most satisfying use. Cook your pasta, drain it, and stir through a generous teaspoon of sauce per person with a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil. Toss well so every strand is coated. Finish with Parmigiano-Reggiano. Tagliatelle, pappardelle, and fettuccine all work well — broad shapes catch the sauce and hold it.

Risotto: Stir a spoonful through a finished Parmesan risotto just before serving, off the heat. The residual warmth is enough to open up the truffle aroma without cooking it away.

Crostini and bruschetta: Spread directly onto toasted bread for a quick, rich snack or canapé. Top with a shaving of Parmesan or a sliver of prosciutto if you like.

Eggs: Fold a teaspoon through scrambled eggs just before they come off the heat, or spread a thin layer inside an omelette before folding.

Meat and fish: Use as a finishing element — a spoonful on the side of a grilled steak, alongside a pan-fried fillet of fish, or stirred into a pan sauce after deglazing.

Mashed potato: Stir a teaspoon or two through freshly mashed potato with butter and cream for a truffle-scented side dish.

How much to use: A little goes a long way. Start with a teaspoon per person and adjust upwards. The 80g jar will comfortably serve 6–8 portions as a pasta sauce.
