About Chef Paul Olaf Lively
 

 As a pastry chef for 19 years, I am dedicated to the essence of what life is about and all my truffle recipes are based around that. My life experiences and memories are all encompassed into each of my truffles. In my recipes there are no artificial ingredients.

I am a fortunate person and I am consistently giving back to this world. I donate truffles and my personal chef services to good causes on a consistent basis.

I have been very lucky to have worked with some of the most revered chefs and I have taken all their knowledge, incorporated with my own flair, creativity and personality help to make Chef Paul's Truffles what it is. Old Fashioned wholesome cooking techniques and extensive culinary knowledge to produce exceptional foods that emphasizes on freshness, quality and seasonal availability.
