In 2024, the world of gastronomy and luxury welcomed a new figure in the shape of Truffle Sommelier Daniele Violoni, a Chevalier member of the Chaîne with the Bailliage of Venice. Daniele is much more than a mere expert in the world of truffles, he is a true communicator who engages with the product, illustrating its characteristics just as a skilled sommelier does with wine.

The finest things of the beautiful country
Taking inspiration from the events regularly organized by the Confrérie, Daniele Violoni, known artistically as “The Lord of Truffle”, has developed a concept that not only highlights the quality of the product. It also conveys the prestige and deep-rooted culture surrounding this prized underground fungus. The result is a 360-degree sensory experience that captivates, astonishes and moves all participants at the table. Each truffle becomes a story told through its sensory features, pairing possibilities, and direct interaction with the guests, unveiling curiosities, anecdotes, and secrets. The luxury of truffles meets entertainment for a truly unforgettable moment.

The magic of the finest truffle with The Lord of Truffle
The Truffle Sommelier curates unforgettable gourmet experiences with the finest truffles, selecting the best specimens based on the number of participants and the culinary direction. He collaborates with the chef to design the menu and orchestrates the Lord’s Show, a performance centred around truffles that engages and excites the audience. The highlight is the spectacular tableside truffle shaving service, an elegant touch that elevates the experience to an unparalleled level of sophistication.

A journey into the world of truffles begins before the meal
Even before sitting down at the table, guests are immersed in the world of truffles with TRUFFLEllery, an exclusive patented refrigerated display case by The Lord of Truffle. This unique showcase presents the finest truffle specimens like precious jewels, illuminated by LED lights on a rotating mirrored plate inside a four-sided transparent case. A stunning setup perfect for social media-worthy snapshots.

His motto for the new year is “Beyond Imagination…”, reflecting his drive to surpass expectations with exclusive, never-before-seen experiences.
