San Diego – January 11, 2026 - A new collaboration between Le Vie del Tartufo — through its flagship brand Jimmy Tartufi, a leading Italian specialist in truffle craftsmanship — and Marquee Brands, a globally recognized brand owner, licensor, marketer and media company, and owner of the Martha Stewart brand, a global icon of culinary elegance, unveils a collection that redefines the truffle experience, making it more contemporary, accessible, and international. This strategic partnership brings together Italian artisanal expertise and the Martha Stewart brands refined, timeless taste to create products made in Italy with real truffle, designed to bring a new vision of excellence to tables around the world — authentic, modern, and unmistakably elevated.
Developed through a close collaboration between the Jimmy Tartufi team and the Martha Stewart team under the guidance of Marquee Brands, the line was born from a shared desire to present truffle through a contemporary lens, celebrating Italian quality with a touch of American creativity. Each recipe reflects Martha Stewart’s distinctive and sophisticated palate; she recommends these products as a simple, accessible, and always-gourmet way to enjoy truffle in everyday cooking. The result is a collection of truffle sauces, creams, gourmet specialties, and innovative variations that transform even the simplest dish into something special — thanks to carefully selected ingredients, versatile formulations, and an elegance meant to be savoured and shared.
The project launches at a moment of significant international expansion for Le Vie del Tartufo, the Umbrian company that has been exporting the excellence of Italian truffles for more than forty years. Today, the company operates in over 90 countries with a modern, structured approach led by Andrea and Silvia Cecchini together with Commercial Director Daniele Tintori, who comments: “Collaborating with Martha Stewart means bringing the value of our tradition together with an international vision capable of speaking to a new audience. It is an extraordinary opportunity to show that truffle can be an everyday pleasure — refined yet accessible — without ever compromising on the quality that has defined us for decades.”
This collaboration marks a significant step forward for both partners: it reinforces Jimmy Tartufi’s role as an ambassador of Italian truffle around the world, while offering the Martha Stewart brand a gourmet collection that is both authentic and entirely Made in Italy. It is a meeting of style and craftsmanship that delivers products for those who love good food and wish to bring a touch of uncomplicated elegance to the table — making truffle an experience to be enjoyed every day.
