Description

We have received our first fresh black Winter truffles (tuber melanosporum) of the New Year from France – their maturity, flavour and aroma are perfect and these are some of the best truffles we have encountered in years. We stock the EXTRA grade, which are the very best available on the truffle markets.

We have decided to feature 50g truffles (which will last for 2-3 recipes) – slightly larger truffles than prior years as the flavour maintains better. These come individually sealed in airtight pouches to maintain maximum freshness and flavour and contain 1-2 truffles depending on weight – but the total weight is always 50g.

Fresh black winter truffles are best grated over a warm dish as it is served – for example risotto, pasta dishes, and not something to cook with as the heat damages/ breaks down the flavour. Fresh black truffles also go well with any sort of egg dish!

With regards storage, they are best stored in a fridge and wrapped in foil and used as soon as possible as the aroma evaporates with time.

How to enjoy

The fresh black truffle can be enjoyed in all manner of ways! The simplest way is to serve it on a slice of lightly buttered bread with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel. You can also add it to your dishes when they are almost cooked and let the heat unleash its flavours. Too much heat, on the other hand, can spoil its aromas so be careful! Grate at the last minute over meat or fish for a very simple way to take your dishes to the next level. Truffles go wonderfully with fatty foods so mix into cheese or butter, then leave to infuse for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Minimum quantity

To fully enjoy all the flavour of fresh black truffle, we recommend you comply with the following quantities: Just to try: 5-10 grams per person Tasting: 10-15 grams per person If you wish to use your black truffle in a recipe, the truffle should make up 10% of the total ingredients. For example, add 10 g of fresh black truffle to 100 g of soft cheese.
