Depuis 2003, Céline Labaune est à la tête de Gourmet Attitude, une entreprise new-yorkaise qu’elle a créée par passion pour ce champignon si délicat et précieux qui s’appelle la truffe...

White ones are more precious than black, and Gourmet Attitude's - sourced from Northern Italy - are consistently fragrant.

Celine Labaune, who imports truffles from France, started her business five years ago with just one client: the French Laundry. Now she sells to dozens of high-end restaurants including Daniel, Le Bernardin and Masa in New York. "My business has picked up with word of mouth," she says. "A lot of that is thanks to them."

Another day, Labaune says she carefully matches each truffle to its buyer. “Every truffle I send out, I see it, I touch it, I smell it. Because each client has different requirements.”

Céline Labaune of Gourmet Attitude, a Manhattan-based importer, recently launched 11 new truffle products from Italy under the label. So far, she says, her truffle honey has been the biggest success.

Céline Labaune has been importing truffles and selling them to chefs since 2003. She has just launched a line of products, including a lovely white truffle cream that would be wonderful with a little butter as an almost-instant pasta sauce.

When Céline Labaune arrived in the U.S. to complete an MBA, she might not have imagined the success she now enjoys selling French truffles to the American gourmet food market.

Céline Labaune was born in the south of France but now resides in New York City. Through Gourmet Attitude, the company she founded in 2003, Céline has become the truffle purveyor to some of the nation’s finest restaurants...

Truffles are the fruiting body of a fungus. Because fungi cannot make their own food, truffles latch on to a tree’s roots, receiving and helping absorb nutrients in a symbiotic relationship.

Gourmet Attitude, a truffle importer, has a line of products that include among other things, truffle honey. It’s a strange combo but oddly compelling. I haven’t figured out what to do with it yet but for now, I’m eating it out of the jar with a spoon...
