How to Care for Your Fresh Truffles at Home

Black Truffles

FOR ALL BLACK TRUFFLES

  • Immediately unpack the fresh truffle upon arrival.

  • Gently wrap the truffle in a fresh paper towel.

  • Store the wrapped truffle in a glass container with a tightly sealed lid.

  • Keep the truffle in the refrigerator until you're prepared to use it.

  • If not using the truffle immediately, replace the paper towel with a fresh one daily until use.

  • If the truffle exhibits white residue due to condensation, delicately brush it off with a soft vegetable brush before rewrapping in a new paper towel.

  • Avoid washing the truffle with water.

  • Consume the truffle within a maximum of five days for optimal freshness.

 

White Truffles

FOR WHITE TRUFFLES

  • Remove the fresh truffle from its packaging upon arrival.

  • Prepare a glass container with a sealing-type lid and add a small amount of rice.

  • Gently wrap the white truffle in a fresh paper towel and place it on top of the rice in the container. Ensure that the truffle is not submerged in the rice; it should only rest on top.

  • If not using the truffle immediately, replace the paper towel daily, while keeping the rice unchanged until you're ready to use it.

  • Avoid washing the truffle with water.

  • Store the truffle in the refrigerator until you're prepared to use it.

  • If the truffle has dirt residue, lightly scrape away any dirt with the tip of a paring knife just before using the truffle.

  • Consume the truffle within a maximum of five days for optimal freshness.
