Origin Story
Tallarico was a budding film producer and actor as well as a tastemaker in the city of Toronto. After a a 3-year stint in LA pursuing his film dreams, he moved back to Toronto and in 2013 became a co-founder of his family business, Appliance Love. He experienced great success as a record-setter in the industry. Unfortunately, a significant fallout with a former business partner left him semi-broke and very disheartened. Eventually, Tallarico left the family business with the encouragement of his wife.

Tallarico, exercising the never quit attitude, pivoted to financial services as a merchant broker. Again, experiencing amazing success within two and half years, the company was bought out. This provided him the financial freedom he craved to take some time and really evaluate what his next chapter was going to look like. Enter Truffle Kings.
This venture excites me because people really love the product.

Next Chapter
As he pondered what’s next, different opportunities were being presented to him but nothing stood out. People in the food industry especially were sourcing him because of his wide network. Tallarico was reluctant at first until he received a box of truffle products from Geofoods. After sampling, he started to fall in love with the subtleness of true truffles. He then agreed to do marketing for the company, and after a year, he decided Truffles was going to be a part of his next chapter.
Truffle Kings
Tallarico created Truffle Kings to be an online Italian fine foods grocery store for truffle-related products. The main component was the Chef’s portal. Being such a challenge for chefs to source fresh truffles, which come directly from Italy, Truffle Kings provides that solution. They also offer a Lavazza coffee subscription service, a variety of exclusive olive oils, honey, and of course, truffle-infused products which include oils, salt, and more. According to Tallarico, a brick-and-mortar store will be coming in the future as well as a variety of new products.
