Freshness Window
White truffles are the most delicate of all truffles. Their aroma is at its peak in the first days after arrival, so enjoy them soon.
On Arrival
Each truffle is wrapped individually in unbleached paper towel, which lets it breathe and prevents condensation in transit.
In the Fridge
Wrap the truffle in absorbent paper and keep it in a dry, sealed container in the crisper drawer. Change the paper daily, and never store truffles in rice. Keep the butter refrigerated in its jar.
Before Using
Gently clean the truffle with a soft brush under a thin stream of water, then pat dry. Clean only what you're about to use.
A Bonus
Truffles perfume everything around them. Store a few eggs in the container overnight for beautifully truffled eggs.
