Origin Story: Truffles
Get to the root of our Truffle pairing menu at The Chase
Menu available from November 25 to December 30
RESERVEThere's a story in every dish.
When it comes to dining, we are often disconnected from the places, people and networks behind what's on our plates. Our fourth Origin Story is centred on Italian Truffles sourced from the Molise region by MGM Truffles.
Learn more about how this ingredient goes from the ground up — to the penthouse at The Chase.
The Origin: Tesori del Matese x MGM Truffles
The family-run "Tesori del Matese," translating to the jewel of the Matese mountain, was born in the heart of Molise.
In Toronto, The Chase has partnered with MGM Truffles to bring you an exquisite selection of indulgent dishes this season.
The Ingredient: White Truffles
The white truffle is a highly prized ingredient renowned for its rich flavour and elusive rarity.
Since truffles cannot be farmed, they are chemical-free and sourcing them is entirely reliant on the expertise of the families who dedicate their lives to foraging.
The Menu: By Chef Taylor McMeekin
"Rare and sought-after, the white truffle is the epitome of luxury.
I am always grateful to work with this ingredient and excited to share the jewels of the Matese with our guests." — Chef Taylor McMeekin
The Wine: Small, Family-Run Producers
To accompany our menu of decadent dishes, our sommeliers have paired French & Italian wines from small, family-run producers whose businesses span generations.
Our exclusive selection includes some of the most renowned viticultural areas in Europe: Burgundy, Champagne and Piedmont.
