Black summer truffle
From 19,34 €
Black musk truffle, Tuber brumale, has a full-bodied and deep flavor with notes of rum, cognac, nutmeg, and a hint of horseradish or radish.
The interior color ranges from brownish to black with distinct white marbling. The season typically runs from November to March in Europe.
Characteristics
Type: Black musk truffle
Latin name: Tuber brumale
Season: November to March
Flavor: Full-bodied and deep with notes of rum, cognac, nutmeg, and light horseradish
Interior color: Brownish to black with white marbling
Serving
Truffles should be served at room temperature to achieve the best aroma and flavor. Therefore, take them out of the refrigerator well in advance of use.
The aroma is released best when the truffle is grated or shaved as a final finish over a warm or hot dish. The heat helps activate the truffle’s aroma.
Storage and shelf life
Shelf life is approx. 1–2 weeks with proper storage. Wrap the truffles individually in kitchen paper and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The kitchen paper should be changed about every other day.
The truffle may develop a white mold-like layer on the outside. This is called mycelium and is natural. It can be removed gently with a brush or by quickly rinsing the truffle under cold water and drying it immediately afterward.
Note
Black musk truffle has a strong aroma that becomes more pronounced with gentle heat. It can be frozen, but should not be fully thawed before grating.
Truffles are a natural product, and the weight may vary. We always select truffles that are as close as possible to the ordered weight.
Truffles can lose weight during transport, as they release moisture. Therefore, they are packed in moisture-absorbing
