There’s a Truffle Vending Machine at JFK Airport

From ice cream and cold medicine to bitcoin and beer, vending machines in New York City have dispensed all manner of products. On a recent trip to JFK Airport, Untapped New York spotted another unique offering, a truffle ATM. Thanks to Urbani Truffles, you can grab a taste of Italy before jetting off to your destination.

For travelers looking for a more sophisticated travel snack, this vending machine is stocked with truffle mushrooms, truffle-flavored treats, and garnishes. There’s a truffle sauce and truffle oil to add some flavor to a meal. Want quick and sweet? How about a chocolate truffle bonbon? There are also truffle-flavored potato chips and mixed nuts for your salty snack craving. Make your pick on the digital touchscreen menu.

Urbani Truffles, one of the oldest and largest truffle companies in the world, powers this machine. Constantine Urbani founded the company way back in 1852. Urbani began by exporting truffles from Italy to France. Soon exports expanded across the globe. Now, nearly 200 years since its founding, the sixth generation of Urbanis runs the business.

You can find the truffle ATM in Terminal 8, Departures. It is located on Concourse B near Gate 14. Urbani Truffles products can also be found at local retailers and at the Urbani Truffle Lab on Manhattan’s Upper West Side where you can take part in cooking classes and culinary events.
