The Truffle

Variety: Tuber Magnatum Pico.

Weighs: from around 10 grams up.

Appearance: it has a globular, sometimes lobate shape with brown-black rind and tightly-spaced warts with a depression at their summit and lengthwise grooves.

Color: its color varies from pale ochre or dark cream to greenish. The flesh or gleba is unmistakable and is white or greyish yellow with thin white veins.

Scent: its pleasantly fragrant aroma, different from the garlicky flavor of the other truffles, makes it unique.

It lives in symbiosis with oaks, limes, poplars and willows and is seldom found together with other truffles.

To grow and develop, the white truffle needs particular types of soil and equally particular climatic conditions: the soil must be soft and humid for most of the year and it must be rich in calcium and well ventilated.

Obviously, not all soils are able to guarantee these characteristics and it is these environmental factors that make the white truffle a rare and highly-prized fruit of the earth.

Gathering: from September to December.

Shipment

Minimum order: 50 grams.

Shipment: Express Courier.

Packaging: specific packages that guarantee the product’s integrity right up to delivery.

Shipping in Italy: if you buy truffles and 2 or more bottles of different producers, for a minimum total of 6 bottles, optimize your shipping costs with 2 different orders. The shipment of 6 bottles is free of charge throughout Italy, but cannot be associated with the purchase of truffles.

Use & Preservation

Cleaning: before eating, it is advisable to clean the truffles with a wet brush (a toothbrush will do) to remove any soil residues. If possible, avoid washing with water.

Recommended quantity: 5-10 grams per person and per course. Chefs in restaurants normally use 5 grams per person. 10 grams are considered a generous serving.

Optimal preservation: remove the truffles from their original packaging and preserve them in an airtight jar, in the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator. Wrap them in kitchen paper and replaced it every day. You can also fill the jar with rice and cook it once eaten the truffle.

To be consumed before: 3 – 5 days from the delivery day.
