| Fresh Black Summer Truffle |
 Now you can have the delicacy and exclusivity of the world's finest restaurants in your very own kitchen. Bring home a fresh truffle to turn any meal into an unforgettable celebration of flavors. Black summer truffles (Tuber Aestivum) grow between the months of May and August and ours come from the Marche and Umbria regions of Italy. In comparison to black winter truffles, summer truffles are slightly less intense in aroma and flavor, but still an exquisite and eclectic ingredient in any kitchen. Known for their earthy, savory and even chocolatey flavor, summer truffles are a magnificent addition to almost every pasta dish or risotto or protein dish. Tips for storing fresh truffles Fresh truffles are a highly perishable product intended to be used as soon as possible. Due to their perishable nature they lose weight, flavor, and aroma each day. Stored properly truffles can be kept for up to five days. To maximize shelf life unwrap the truffles as soon as you receive them. Line the bottom of a small glass or plastic airtight container with cotton or paper towel. Wrap each truffle in a small piece of dry paper towel and store, tightly sealed, in the container. Keep the container in the refrigerator until you are ready to use the truffles. The paper towel wrapping should be replaced every day until you are ready to use the truffle. Enjoy! Serving suggestions Keep it simple when working with truffles! Slice and place under the skin of a chicken before roasting or add to an omelette; you can't go wrong. A classic recipes is to all the thinly sliced truffles to pasta or risotto with a butter sauce. Price: 35.00 |
