The mystery behind the truffle. People often ask what truffles are and why are they expensive. The truffle is the fruiting body of a fungus, belonging to the family of Tuberacee, which grows underground. There are different species of truffles which differ in shape, size, color, aroma and flavor.

Choose your truffle on smell and touch: it should be fragrant, but remember each truffle has its own perfume. The beauty matters, but it does not determine the goodness of the truffle.

Preparation and usage:

Before cooking wash truffles under running cold water and use a toothbrush to remove any soil on it. The Moscato enhances the dish whether it is pasta, meat or fish. Fantastic on eggs and for filling handmade and dry pasta, pizza, focacce and flatbread. Great for pasta dishes - just cut, shave or grate thin slices of white truffle directly onto the pasta. Fantastic sliced on fried eggs or with meat and fish dishes.
