Seminalia
Purveyors and consultants of the rare and wild serving chefs and wholesalers nationwide.
At Seminalia, we specialize in American truffles and wild foraged goods. Co-founders Vincent and Camille spent a decade in the culinary industry, in three Michelin starred restaurants and James Beard winning kitchens and dining rooms, growing a deep love and knowledge of truffles, unique ingredients, and the story of the foragers and farmers who pull them from the earth. We firmly believe that American-grown truffles truly rival their European counterparts, and showcase them side by side to help bring them center stage and share them with the world. We carry American-grown European species, American native and endemic species, and European species imported from around the globe, in an array of a dozen different species on rotation throughout the year.

NewTown Truffiere is a 24 acre orchard in Southern Kentucky, established in 2011 with 4800 oak and hazelnut trees and dedicated to growing one of the world’s top culinary truffles, the “black diamond” or tuber melanosporum. We found our first truffles in the winter of 2019, shortly after being highlighted on the front page of the Wall Street Journal’s Food Section, “The Elusive American Truffle”. This year will be our fifth producing year and we are off to an auspicious pre-season start with Luca, our resident Lagotto Romagnolo truffle dog, at the helm.
