Truffle season is upon us. Perfect timing for an elegant vintage Italian truffle slicer crafted for traditional tableside service. This substantial gourmet utensil features a classic double-ribbed handle in the Inglese style, an adjustable slicing mechanism, and a sharp stainless-steel blade.
The handle bears an 800 silver fineness mark, together with Italian silversmith registration and workshop marks. The working section and blade are marked INOX, indicating the surface that comes into contact with the truffle is stainless steel.
Turn the upper screw to adjust the blade opening for delicate, paper-thin slices of fresh white or black truffle. It can also be used for shaving hard cheese, mushrooms, chocolate, garlic, or vegetables.
A handsome and functional piece of Italian culinary silver—ideal for a gourmet kitchen, luxury tablescape, chef’s collection, or distinctive food-lover’s gift. An original velvet case is included.
