White spring truffle
From 36,91 €
The white spring truffle is known for a strong flavor, with mild garlic notes. Whereas the scent has an intense garlic aroma.
Its interior color ranges from sandy to light brown.
The season runs from January to April in Europe.
SERVING
Truffles should be served at room temperature 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 scent and flavor are released when the truffle is grated or shaved as a finishing touch over a lukewarm or warm dish, where the heat activates the aroma.
FUN FACTS
- In Italy, the white spring truffle is called Bianchetto, which means “the little white one”.
- 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.For over 100 years, truffles have been a very popular edible mushroom.
In the past, pigs were used to sniff them out underground. However, the pigs had a hard time controlling their excitement, so when they found the truffles they might eat them. There are also stories of truffle hunters losing fingers to the pigs when they tried to grab the truffles before the pig did.
Today, specially trained dogs are therefore used to find the truffles.
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 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 quickly rinsing the truffle 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 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 experience that the truffles weigh a few grams less than what you ordered.
We calibrate our scales every day, and always pack a few grams over the ordered amount to compensate for any potential weight loss.
