USE FOR TIPS
The rich aroma will elevate any dish. Perfect for combining with artichoke or olive spreads and serving on crostini.
HOW TO STORE
Store at a controlled temperature of 2–4°C, ideally in a ventilated refrigerator. To preserve your truffles’ organoleptic properties, wrap them in a paper towel which should always be kept dry. A cotton cloth can be used as an alternative to a paper towel.
To reduce weight loss, it is recommended to store truffles inside an airtight container or covered with a bell jar, and always keep them in the refrigerator.
DELIVERY METHOD
Every truffle has a different shape and organoleptic properties. The images are therefore only indicative. Your order will be made up of truffles that have an irregular shape and, in some cases, small imperfections on the outside, which are typical unique features of every piece. The weight of each truffle can vary from 5 g to 39 g depending on the amount of truffle selected. Your delivery will consist of different truffles of various weights (from 5 g to 39 g) that will make up your desired quantity.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE IT?
The truffle you have purchased is meticulously packaged in our laboratories in Savigno, just like a jewel: it is enclosed in a special box, which in turn is placed in specially designed packaging that preserves the truffle’s humidity and freshness.
During delivery, the truffle will therefore be kept in ideal conditions to ensure that its properties remain intact. Fresh truffles will be delivered to you by express delivery as quickly as possible.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN IT ARRIVES?
As soon as you get your truffle, place it in the refrigerator in a well-sealed airtight container (see Truffle Storage). Your truffles will be delivered washed. Due to the delicacy of these products, they will be gently dusted with fine sand to reduce humidity and ensure optimal preservation. Before use, wash the amount that you are going to use under running water. Let it dry for about an hour. Your truffle will then be ready to grate.
