Specialist note

'It is claimed that Italy has the best white and black truffles in the world, and for Italians, hunting and gathering the fruits of the earth is in the blood. If you love the decadence of truffles then you should have the most decadent truffle slicer to go with it, and this is it. It just shows that even a hundred years ago they loved great food and truffles.'
Tom Aikens, London Restauranteur and Chef
