Black Truffle Set - Tuber Melanosporum Vittadini

Black Truffle Set

Tuber Melanosporum Vittadini

A combination of fresh black winter truffles and 3.6 oz (100g) of artisanal black truffle butter. Our black truffles come from Provence, France while our butter is from a specialty creamery in Vermont. Our truffle butter is made by our Chefs with love for you!  In season, we receive several shipments of truffles every week, straight from our grower. Our truffles are always fresh! 

Tuber Melanosporum, better known as the black winter truffle, is reputed throughout the world. More or less round in shape, the outer skin is black and brown in color and is covered in diamond shaped pyramids.  The inside is a beautiful black with a hint of purple with distinctive white marbling. This truffle owes its fame to the complexity of its flavor, the perfume may range from wet mushroom, hazelnut, chocolate to alcohol. Black winter truffles are available and in season from December to March (Northern Hemisphere) and from June to August (Southern Hemisphere). 

1, 2 or 4 oz of Fresh Black Winter Truffles (France). 

3.6 oz of Black Truffle Butter (Cultured Vermont Creamery Butter 86%, Black Winter Truffles - Tuber Melanosporum 12%, Sea Salt, Black Truffle Oil).
Keep refrigerated and use 15 days upon reception.

Some of your truffles will arrive with some 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 days.
