Celebrate Black Truffle Season With The Divino Group
Available from 6 January to 31 March, Spasso, DiVino, DiVino Patio and Carpaccio restaurants will feature a sumptuous selection of dishes that showcase the prized black winter truffles or ‘Tartufo Nero’ from Norcia in Umbria.
No Menu, No Limitations, No Rules
“It’s a joy to cook with these delicious truffles and introduce their incredible flavours to our customers,” explains Chef Michele. “As we pursue a ‘No Menu, No Limitations, No Rules’ approach to our craft, we are free to tailor our use of the truffles to the exact taste and preference of our diners. I’m looking forward to coming up with recommendations and combinations that will really surprise and challenge people’s palates!”
Unlike the white truffle, the black truffle’s flavours are optimised when gently heated or cooked, exuding an almost peppery taste in tandem with their delicate, sweet and fruity aroma. Black winter truffles are one of the most precious culinary delicacies – adored by gourmet diners and chefs alike. Their inclusion to any dish will heighten the flavours of the other ingredients and warrant a proclamation of “magnifico!” with the meal.
With DiVino Group’s ‘No menu. No limitations. No rules.’ approach to the menu, diners are invited to experience black truffles as they wish – be adventurous and creative, delight in the capacity to experiment. But each of the Group’s four restaurants will be offering unique dishes created by their respective chefs.
