Essential answers about storage, freshness, shipping, weekly pricing and professional use.
Storage
Refrigerate immediately. Wrap in clean paper towel, place in an airtight container and replace the paper daily to manage moisture.
Rice method
Optional for moisture control. Dry rice can help absorb humidity and may take on truffle aroma, but it does not extend freshness indefinitely.
Freshness window
Use within 5–7 days. Fresh Winter Black Truffle is best used quickly after delivery for maximum aroma, texture and shaving quality.
Dosage
Use 5–12g per portion depending on the dish. Use 5–8g for starters and 8–12g for pasta, risotto, eggs or premium truffle-focused dishes.
Best dishes
Warm, rich and elegant dishes work best. Use with pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, meats, cream sauces, butter-based sauces and tasting menus.
Raw or cooked
Best shaved raw over warm dishes or added at the end of preparation. Controlled warmth helps release aroma, while excessive heat can reduce aromatic quality.
Shipping
EU delivery usually takes 1–2 business days. Worldwide shipping is available, depending on destination, timing and import requirements.
Photos before order
Available when possible. Buyers can request current stock photos, size indication and visual quality details before larger orders.
Size and grade
Depends on weekly stock. Size, shape, maturity and visual quality vary naturally with each harvest and market availability.
Weekly pricing
Prices move with the market. Fresh truffle prices depend on season, harvest volume, size, quality, demand and weekly availability.
Melanosporum profile
Deep, complex and refined. Tuber melanosporum is different from Tuber brumale and Tuber aestivum, with a more prestigious winter aromatic profile.
