■ The newly reborn truffle oil This new product intensifies the truffle aroma by about 50% more than conventional truffle oils. Enjoy a more powerful fragrance. ■ Truffle Oil Made by Truffle Experts What they tried to create with this white truffle oil was precisely to infuse the vivid and elegant aroma inherent in white truffle into EXV olive oil. While carrying the elegant aroma of truffle, it has a gentle harmony that harmonizes with dishes, making it suitable for meat dishes, salads, pasta, pizza, and more. ■ Truffle Organic Farming Truffles grow naturally at the base of oak (oak) trees in forests and cannot be cultivated artificially. Truffles spread by spores, but they also take root where they grow, or are carried by truffle-eating animals such as snails, hedgehogs, and squirrels. So, what makes the difference between the organic products Karouge uses and the truffles grow? Truffles absorb substances present in the soil, so in truffle forests certified organic, the following initiatives are undertaken: ・Promotion of biological diversity ・Prohibition of the use of synthetic chemicals and GMOs ・Managing pollution of agricultural ecosystems and water resources Truffle's organic certification is a commitment to maintaining a sustainable relationship between humans and nature, and it helps foster respect for ecosystems. ■ How to Enjoy ・Mushroom plancha Plancha refers to teppanyaki. The key to this recipe is the finishing truffle oil. Would you like to pair it with a white Tuscan wine? I think a fairly solid white color suits it well. ■ Standards for Tuscan Chefs Stefania Calugi tartufi was founded in 1987 by Stefania Calugi as a truffle wholesaler in Tuscany, Italy. By carefully selecting even fresher truffles from a trusted network of truffle hunters built over generations from great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, Carrouge's truffles have earned immense trust from chefs and become the "standard of Tuscan chefs." ■ Growth through family bonds and passion The production of Karugi's truffle products began in a small 67-square-meter workshop established in 1988. Its high quality was quickly recognized, and in 1992, the company relocated to a large 400-square-meter factory. After that, with many staff members and new machinery installed, by 2016 the company expanded to over 1,000 square meters, growing to include a laboratory, warehouse, and showroom. However, even if the workshop grows larger or technology advances, the key factor Carrouge considers important is people. We believe that maintaining teamwork like a large family and the constant desire to develop are what lead to growth. ■ Pride in Being Made in Italy Carouge is also proactive in obtaining approvals and certifications, including organic, vegan, and halal certifications. Through continuous technological innovation, we manufacture truffle products with the highest quality control and strict traceability, ensuring safe consumption even for people outside Italy.
