Black Winter Truffle:

Some of your truffles will arrive with condensation. This is normal and occurs when the truffle releases some of its moisture, which becomes trapped by its wrapping. The wrapping is composed of paper which aids in keeping the truffle fresh and prevents it from drying out during transport. 

 Once you receive your shipment, gently wrap the truffle in an absorbent paper and store in a dry and sealed container in the crisper compartment of the refrigerator (bottom drawer). The paper should be changed daily, and the container must be kept dry. Remove the truffle from the fridge, clean/brush it properly under a thin stream of water and enjoy it right away! Do not store truffles in rice. This will dry them out! 

Truffles have a strong aroma, which will quickly be absorbed by any other food in the refrigerator, so it is important to store them in their own container. Alternatively, you can add eggs or butter in the container, which will result in truffle eggs and truffle butter! 

 For the best aroma and flavor experience, do not wait to enjoy your truffles. When properly stored in the fridge, fresh black winter truffles have a shelf-life of about 5-7 days.

Black Truffle Butter:  

Keep refrigerated and use 21 days upon receipt. Freeze well.

Black Truffle Oil:  

Keep in a cool, dry place. Use as finishing oil, uncooked, on all dishes. Oil is very concentrated, one teaspoon per person is recommended. Ready-to-use and shelf-stable.
