Black autumn truffle
From 36,91 €
The black autumn truffle – Tuber Uncinatum – is known for a delicious and slightly earthy truffle flavor, with a scent of hazelnuts
Its interior color ranges from light brown to brown.
The season runs from October to December.
SERVING
Truffles should be served tempered to achieve optimal aroma and flavor. They should therefore not be used directly from the refrigerator. For best results, take the truffles out well in advance so they reach room temperature before use.
Maximum aroma and flavor are released when the truffle is grated or shaved as a finishing touch over a warm or hot dish; here, the heat activates the aromas.
FUN FACTS
- They grow in completely different areas than the black summer truffle, and are often also called the Burgundy truffle.
- Truffles are a natural product, and the weight may vary. We always choose truffles that are as close as possible to the number of grams you have ordered.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
Our truffles have a shelf life of 1–2 weeks provided they are stored correctly.
The correct way is to wrap them individually in kitchen paper and put them in an airtight container placed in the refrigerator. The kitchen paper around the truffle should be changed about every other day.
The truffle may develop a white mold-like layer on the outside; this is natural for the truffle, as it is its way of reproducing. The white mold-like layer is called mycelium and is easily removed by brushing gently or by rinsing the truffle very quickly under cold running water, and drying it immediately afterwards.
WEIGHT AND TRANSPORT
The truffles may lose weight during transport.
This is due to the moisture that the truffles release during transport and when storing the truffles.
To prevent the moisture from forming condensation, which would result in the truffles going bad, we pack the truffles in moisture-absorbing paper, and it is into this paper that the moisture will migrate, and therefore you may experience that the truffles weigh a few grams less than you have ordered.
We calibrate our scales every day, and always pack a few grams above the ordered amount to compensate for any potential weight loss.
