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.

Before cooking wash truffles under running cold water and use a toothbrush to remove any soil on it. Great paired with melted cheese and butter, it is ideal for preparing the delicious canapés or as a base for pasta dishes such as dumplings or Cappelletti. If you want something special, pair it with raw seafood. We love it with ravioli stuffed with fish sauce.

Once you receive your truffles, store the bag in the refrigerator. If possible in an airtight box.
