Truffle & our friends — a Scandinavian fine food producer that challenges your senses. Produce that stays true to your soul, handmade with love, shared amongst friends and honouring Mother Earth.
Truffle is one of the most exquisite gifts of nature, rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins. Truffle & our friends are united by friendship and love for this fantastic and wild product.
As the brand’s co-founder Lina Gilbe says, “We just love this quirky, unconventional little gem that, for all its earthy elegance and delight, is unique in aromas and flavors. Undoubtedly, this is the best that has ever grown from the garden of Mother Earth”.
Traveling a lot with her husband Johan Gilbe, and once, in one of the restaurants having tasted real truffle oil, Lina understood: “truffle came to me!”.
Returning home to Copenhagen Lina and Johan understood that everyone should have a possibility to indulge in truffle produce that is free from artificial aromas. «This was the start of our brand truffle & our friend — to make a sincere brand that is plant-based, natural and available for consumers to enjoy».
When creating the brand, Lina saw her product as completely different not only in taste, but also in packaging, corresponding to the Scandinavian laconic style.
«Also, we decided not to use any plastic for our products. Instead, we choose jars and bottles of glass that can be recycled or even better upcycled as a vase for a beautiful flower or containers for sugar, coffee or your sweets», — says Lina.
