Meet Sessa Tartufi's Truffle Sauce: Italian Gourmet Flavor in a Jar

If you’ve ever opened a jar of truffle sauce and wondered what exactly to do with it, you’re not alone. Truffles are mysterious, luxurious, and a little intimidating, until you meet Sessa Tartufi’s signature Truffle Sauce, born in the hills of Southern Italy and designed to make everyday cooking feel special.

A family obsession turned into flavor

For over thirty years, the Sessa family has lived and breathed truffles. What began as a small father-and-son adventure in the early ’90s has grown into a modern artisanal company exporting Italian excellence to more than 20 countries. Yet the philosophy hasn’t changed:

“Short ingredient lists, honest craftsmanship, and pure truffle aroma. Nothing else.”

That’s exactly what you’ll find inside this jar: finely selected Italian summer truffles blended with simple, natural ingredients. No artificial thickeners, no colorants, no preservatives, no gluten. Just the earthy, elegant taste of truffles, ready when you are.

Why it tastes so pure

Every morning during truffle season, local gatherers deliver fresh finds to the Sessa workshop. Each truffle is hand-sorted by an all-female team trained to spot perfection. The most beautiful, round slices become truffle carpaccio; the rest go into the sauce. It’s this hands-on process that keeps the aroma alive, rich, woodsy, and unmistakably Italian.

The golden rule: gentle heat

Here’s the secret most people never tell you: truffle aroma is volatile. Boil it, and it vanishes.
So treat this sauce with respect, add it at the end of cooking or off the heat entirely.

• Pasta: After draining, turn off the flame. Add 1–2 tablespoons of sauce with a splash of pasta water and toss until glossy.
• Pizza or focaccia: Bake first, then spread a thin layer right before serving.
• Eggs: Spoon on top of a fried or scrambled egg for the quickest brunch upgrade of your life.
• Sandwiches & burgers: Use like a gourmet condiment; just a little delivers big payoff.

A 12-minute Italian dinner

Need dinner fast? Try this:

1. Cook 8 oz of spaghetti or tagliatelle in salted water.
2. In a large bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of Sessa Truffle Sauce with 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil.
3. Drain the pasta (save some cooking water), toss it into the bowl, and loosen with a few spoonfuls of that hot water.
4. Finish with black pepper and Parmigiano.

That’s it, restaurant flavor in minutes.

Everyday pairings that just work

• Stir a teaspoon into mashed potatoes or risotto.
• Swirl over roasted mushrooms or steak right before serving.
• Spread on a warm piadina or grilled bread.
• Mix with a little mayo for truffle aioli.

Once you start, you’ll find a hundred ways to use it and none will feel like “everyday food” again.

Because true flavor doesn’t need to be complicated.
