GiGi
GiGi is the house label of GiGi Importing, a family firm founded in 1979 that brings carefully chosen, authentically Made-in-Italy foods to Canada. This jar sits in the GiGi Linea Oro — the "Gold Line," its premium tier. Inside is a single whole Italian summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) preserved in nothing more than water and salt, so the truffle itself, not a flavouring, is what reaches the table — ready to shave like the fresh article, available all year round.

Rich, intensely savoury and umami-forward, led by rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes with a rounded sweetness, mellow garlic, herbal basil and a subtle nutty note from pine kernels and aged cheese.
Light, crisp and very thin, with toasty baked-bread flavour, a fruity backbone of extra-virgin olive oil and a gentle, rounded garlic warmth on the finish. Savoury but never aggressive.
Crunchy and delicate, with sun-ripened tomato sweetness, a herbal lift of basil and oregano, mild garlic and onion and a whisper of paprika, all kept gentle and balanced.
