There is no comparison: the white truffle from Piedmont – Tuber magnatum Pico – is considered the finest in the world. Grown in the hills of Langhe and Monferrato, nurtured by the unique climate and rich soils of northern Italy, it is an aromatic treasure reserved for the most refined palates and prestigious tables.
At RIVA & C., we don’t just supply white truffles. We hand-select them from the source, guided by decades of experience and a direct relationship with the land and its foragers.
Piedmontese white truffles are rare, seasonal, and fragile – and their value lies not only in their price, but in their purity, complexity, and intensity. Unlike any other ingredient, they are a living emblem of natural perfection, harvested only when conditions are ideal.
At RIVA & C., each truffle is selected with obsessive attention to aroma, shape, and maturity – ensuring it reaches you in its absolute prime.
Most suppliers rely on wholesalers, auctions, or truffle markets, where origin and freshness are often diluted in the chain. RIVA & C. follows a different path.
We work directly with a network of expert trifulai (truffle hunters), many of whom we’ve known for generations. There are no brokers, no warehouses, no compromises. Each truffle is shipped immediately upon harvest, often within hours – ensuring that what you receive is not just high-quality, but unmatched in freshness and provenance.
We believe in precision, not overstock. That’s why RIVA & C. operates on a Pay-on-Demand model.
This means:
You place your request
We handpick the finest available truffles
We ship them directly to your door – worldwide – within hours of harvest
It’s a tailored process, ideal for restaurants, private clients, and culinary professionals who value consistency, traceability, and excellence.
We also manage large-scale and recurring orders upon request, sourcing from a select circle of trusted foragers outside our core network when needed. Even in these cases, we maintain full control over quality, with RIVA & C. guaranteeing the selection, inspection, and shipping of each truffle under our direct supervision.
Every white truffle is a gift from the earth. At RIVA & C., we honor that gift by practicing sustainable harvesting, protecting the natural ecosystems where truffles grow, and fostering a model of ethical luxury – rare, exquisite, and deeply respectful.
When you choose RIVA & C., you are not just buying a truffle. You are receiving a living symbol of Italian heritage, handpicked with care, and delivered with precision.
