Founded by Jimmy Kunz in 2013, The Truffleist produces handcrafted, small-batch truffle based products out of their Long Island City, Queens facility. “Mushrooms are delicious and mysterious”, says Kunz.” As the only mushroom that grows underground, the science behind truffles is fascinating”. Highlighting those flavors and qualities without the pretentiousness often associated with the truffle is Kunz’s number one priority, “Our goal is to be a unique and approachable American truffle company”.
