The Truffleist
Queens, NY
TLDR Background Story
Jimmy Kunz founded The Truffleist in 2013 after making truffle butter as holiday gifts. He hand-delivered early orders by Vespa around New York City; the company now makes handcrafted, small-batch truffle products, including truffle popcorn with BjornQorn.
Proudest Achievement
Growing from a single truffle-butter product into a broader brand available through pop-ups, specialty stores, online, and East Coast Whole Foods locations, with adoption by prominent New York chefs.
The "Why" Behind the Business
Kunz wanted to create memorable shared food experiences and make curated, high-quality truffle ingredients more accessible.
