Black truffle
From 19,46 €
The black musk truffle – Tuber Brumale – is known for a rich and deep taste and aroma with notes of rum, cognac, nutmeg and a hint of horseradish/radish..
Its interior color ranges from brownish to black with beautiful white marbling
The season runs from November to March in Europe.
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.
The maximum aroma and flavor are released when the truffle is grated or shaved as a final finish over a warm or hot dish; here the heat activates the aromas.
FUN FACTS
- The powerful aroma comes to life when it is heated.
- Can be frozen; when thawing, however, it must not thaw completely, as it then cannot be grated.
- 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 should be changed around the truffle approx. 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 immediately afterwards.
WEIGHT AND TRANSPORT
The truffles may lose weight during transport.
This is due to the moisture that the truffles release during both 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; therefore, you may experience 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 potential weight loss.
