Black winter truffle
From 66,44 €
The black winter truffle is known for a rich and deep taste and aroma with notes of chocolate, cognac, prunes, and musk.
Its interior color ranges from brownish to black with beautiful white marbling.
The season runs from November to March in Europe and from June to August in Australia.
SERVING
Truffles should be served at room temperature to achieve optimal aroma and taste. 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.
Black winter truffle differs from other truffle types by also being able to withstand cooking. It is often used in sauces, purées, and soups, where it adds depth and complexity without losing its character.
FUN FACTS
- Also called PĂ©rigord (an area in France).
- The powerful aroma comes to life when it is heated.
- Can be frozen, but when thawing it must not thaw completely, as it then cannot be grated.
- Today it is cultivated in several places, which is not easy, as you first have to inoculate the roots of oak or hazel trees, and then wait a long time without any guarantee of success.
- 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 1â2 weeks provided they are stored correctly.
The correct method is to wrap them individually in kitchen paper and put them in an airtight container placed in the refrigerator. The kitchen paper should be changed around the truffle approximately 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 the truffles release during both transport and storage.
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; therefore, you may find that the truffles weigh a few grams less than you ordered.
We calibrate our scales every day, and always pack a few grams above the ordered amount to compensate for any possible weight loss.
