How to preserve the Truffle

To best appreciate the taste of the truffle, it should be consumed as soon as possible. However, there are certain ways to ensure that the taste and aroma are maintained so it may also be enjoyed a few days after picking.

It is therefore necessary to:

Wrap each truffle in paper or fabric without removing the earth;

Change the wrapping every day;

Store in the fridge in a container which must be kept open to allow the truffle to “breathe” (milk, butter, cheese and eggs stored near the truffle tend to absorb its aroma);

When the truffle appears to go soft it must be consumed immediately as this is a sign that it has reached maximum maturity.
