2019 marked the completion of a project that began in 2015: de Truffle. A complete kit for the Alba White Truffle, created by Alessi in collaboration with renowned international designers. This time, it\u2019s Pepita\u2019s turn\u2014designed by Mariela Schwarz Montiel and produced by Raynaud.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Presenting, slicing, preserving: more than a mantra, it\u2019s the etiquette of the Alba White Truffle<\/strong>. In the journey initiated by the International Alba White Truffle Fair, the National Truffle Study Center, and Alessi\u2014aimed at creating a dedicated set for the Tuber Magnatum Picco\u2014we have now reached the third phase.<\/p>\n

Preserving, but also transporting. Containing a precious treasure, lifting the lid that protects it to release its richness. This is the philosophy behind Pepita, a refined object designed to best reveal the fragrance, aroma, and freshness of the Alba White Truffle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maison Raynaud, The Art of Porcelain<\/h3>\n

“We chose to collaborate with the International Alba White Truffle Fair because we wanted to finally combine our Limoges porcelain with one of nature\u2019s most extraordinary products. ‘Pepita’ plays with form and reveals the excellence of the Alba White Truffle, and above all, it marks a precise meeting point between traditions and territory\u2014a collaborative pact we hope is just the first of many.”
\nBertrand Raynaud<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A subtle thread connects Alba to Maison Raynaud<\/a>, the historic producer of fine tableware. A line that ideally links the capital of the Langhe and homeland of the truffle to the French town of Limoges, world-renowned for its ceramics. A point of contact rooted in the UNESCO Creative Cities network<\/a>, of which both cities are members.<\/p>\n

It seems almost destined that these two centers of excellence would eventually meet. Raynaud joins an exclusive circle established in 2015 to create a dedicated set for the Alba White Truffle\u2014designer objects conceived to preserve, handle, and slice the precious\u00a0Tuber Magnatum Pico<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Pepita by Raynaud<\/strong>\u00a0was born within a broader project that, over the years, has seen major designers contribute to the reinvention of objects meant to enhance the prized underground fungus.<\/p>\n
