Storing white truffles (Alba and Bianchetto)

The white truffle should be consumed within 4-5 days, so that the truffle does not lose too much aroma.

Very critical is also the weight loss of the white truffle that can reach 10% per day.

An important point is the temperature of the refrigerator. Ideal is the coolest compartment approximately +2 C.

We always deliver the fresh white truffle in a plastic container wrapped in papertowel. The papertowel needs to be replaced daily.

If necessary brush off soil residue with a dry truffle brush (no water) or tooth brush shortly before serving, so that the truffle will not lose the aroma.

Storing black truffles (Périgord-, Muskat-, Burgundy and Summertruffle)

The black truffle can be kept longer, but should also be consumed within 10 days. The storing procedure is identical with the white Alba truffle.

In case of mold growing on black truffles you can easily remove it with a dry brush (no water). If it is removed when noticed, the truffles could get damp and become inedible.

Fresh black truffles are also ideal to freeze, altough a certain weight and taste loss is unavoidable. The truffle should be sliced and portioned before freezing.

Tips for storing

Besides storing fresh truffles in a plastic container you can place them togheter with raw eggs in a glass jar. The eggs regulate the moisture and take it on the aroma of the truffles. From the eggs you can make a fantastic fried or scrabbled egg with a nice truffle flavor. Fresh truffles can be sliced on top for extra flavor.
