How To Use

Recommended uses: Fresh truffles are consumed raw. They pair perfectly with delicately flavored dishes. Slice and toss with pasta. Stir into a finished risotto dish, Mix with olive oil to top bruschetta. Fold into mashed potatoes. Add to a cheese butter sauce, fish, seafood, or chicken. Shave over scrambled eggs or an omelet.

-White truffle is more delicate and should only be sliced raw over hot dishes, so that it can delicately release all its aromas, enhancing its harmonious bouquet. Slice the truffle thinly and evenly, to avoid ruining it, which is why it would always be better to use a truffle slicer.

-Black truffles have the ability to resist temperatures more. In addition to the possibility of being sliced raw directly on the plate, they can also be grated without major problems during the preparation of the dish, a few minutes before the end of cooking, taking care not to burn them.

Fresh Truffles are best eaten as soon as possible. We suggest no more than 5 days, because they begin to lose weight and lose their freshness.
