Fresh Périgord Truffle — Tuber Melanosporum

The Périgord truffle, the black winter truffle, is considered the finest of all black truffles. Its aroma is intense and earthy, with notes of cocoa and forest floor. The black flesh is finely marbled with white. Season: November to March.

How to use

Unlike white truffles, it tolerates gentle heat — tossed in butter or shaved over the warm dish just before serving, its aroma comes through particularly well. A classic with beef fillet, potato dishes and sauces. Allow 5 to 10 g per person.

Shipping

We ship Tuesday to Thursday with DHL Express, chilled in a polystyrene box with ice packs and bedded on wood shavings. Your order leaves on the morning of the next shipping day; within Germany it usually reaches you the day after. Chilled shipping costs are shown in the basket. Several fresh truffles in one order travel together in one cool box — so shipping is charged only once.

Storage

Remove from the transport packaging on arrival. Wrapped in a dry kitchen towel in a closed jar in the fridge, it keeps its aroma for about a week. Change the towel daily.

• Truffle slicer — for wafer-thin slices, with an adjustable blade
• Truffle salt — an easy everyday truffle note
• Risotto and pasta — the classic base
• Truffle oil — for finishing, keeps all year round
