HOW TO USE IT

For the best flavor, serve fresh truffles at room temperature. Remove the quantity you plan to use from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before serving.Truffles can be simply shaved using a truffle shaver, microplane®, or mandolin set to the thinnest possible setting, if applicable.White truffles are exceptionally prized and should never be heated, as heat will degrade their delicate aroma. Black truffles, on the other hand, are more robust and their flavor can be intensified with gentle heat or minimal preparation.

HOW TO CLEAN IT

It's natural for truffles to develop a bit of mold. Simply brush it off gently with a soft brush. Avoid washing your truffles.

HOW TO STORE IT

To maintain the quality of your fresh truffles, follow these steps immediately upon receiving them:

1. Wrap: Enclose the truffles in clean, dry paper towels.
2. Contain: Place the wrapped truffles in an airtight container.
3. Refrigerate: Store in the refrigerator at 34°-36°F.
4. Daily Maintenance: Replace the paper towels daily to maintain optimal freshness.

We highly recommend enjoying your truffles within 48 hours of arrival. Please keep in mind that truffles have a very short shelf life.
