Truff Mayonnaise & pasta SAuce

From the beginning, TRUFF has existed to reimagine and elevate pantry staples by infusing black truffle. They started with hot sauce, and quickly became one of the best-selling hot sauces on the market. Now, TRUFF is out to tackle their next pantry staple: Mayonnaise & Pasta Sauce. 

Truff Mayo: From the beginning, TRUFF hot sauce and mayonnaise have been a match made in heaven. Now, TRUFF has married the two with their Original and Spicy Mayonnaise. Made simply with organic eggs, sunflower oil, black winter truffle, and (for the spicy mayo) red jalapeños. 

Truff Pasta Sauce: The true newest addition to the TRUFF lineup – in fact, when TRUFF released their pasta sauce, it sold out almost instantly and amassing a waitlist of over 10,000 consumers. Skip the mile-long waitlist and pick up Truff Pasta Sauce at Zupan’s! Featuring truffle-infused Pomodoro and Arrabbiata sauce. 

P.S. – Zupan’s also carries TRUFF hot sauces!

The crumpany Crumpets

What started as a crumpet crisis at Lovejoy’s Team Room in early 2020 has turned into a local source for traditional crumpets. When the pandemic started, Lovejoy’s lost their local crumpet vendor suddenly, and were forced to temporarily import from the UK. Making in-house crumpets had always been an idea, but with the sudden change in vendors, the idea was brought to fruition. Now, Lovejoy’s has created The Crumpany, dedicated to creating delicious and traditional crumpets right here in Portland. Try toasting them and enjoy with butter or lemon curd.
