The truffle – a highly sought-after aromatic fungus – is considered a delicacy around the world. Now, downtown Coral Gables is about to get a new store dedicated entirely to the wonders of truffles.
It will be called Truffle Temptations and the plan is for it to open this summer at 2333 Salzedo Street. That’s right across the street from the Ichimi ramen restaurant.
Truffle Temptations will carry fresh truffles, of course, but also truffle salts, truffle oils, truffle pastas, truffle butter, truffle honey, and many other truffle-centric products.
“Miami’s premier destination for the finest truffle products,” the company’s website proudly states. “We are passionate about bringing the authentic flavors of Italy to truffle enthusiasts, food connoisseurs, and anyone with a taste for the extraordinary.”
The brand already has an online store and readers of The Burn Miami may have seen the Truffle Temptations stand at farmers markets around South Florida. The upcoming storefront is the next big step for the owners.
Right now, if all goes smoothly, they are aiming for a July grand opening at the Salzedo Street location.
