The black truffle vodka, which is being launched under the La Truffe by Petrossian brand, is a 40%-ABV premium spirit that is made with wheat and flavoured with tuber melanosporum, also known as the Périgord truffle or French black truffle.

“Carefully selected from the forests of Europe, we’ve transformed these hidden treasures into rich, decadent truffle products for you to enjoy in your own home. Our La Truffe collection will invigorate your senses and inspire your recipes, whether you’re an acclaimed chef or a dedicated amateur,” Simmons added.
The La Truffe vodka from Petrossian will be available to order online from 15 November. Each 50cl bottle contains 5% black truffle. Bottles will retail at £75 each.
