Ingredients

100% Frozen Summer Black Truffle

Method of use

To facilitate the cleaning of the truffle keep quickly rinse it in cold water, then under running water and with the help of a soft brittle brush (alternatively you can also use an old toothbrush) wash the truffle eliminating the last earth residues. Once the truffle is clean, use it to taste on your plates, preferably on hot dishes that enhance the flavor if you decide to cut it raw using a sliced truffle. Otherwise, you can grate and use the minced truffle to prepare an excellent oil-based sauce. It is therefore recommended a sauce with garlic and extra virgin olive oil, to which, once lukewarm, the minced truffle is seasoned with salt and a pinch of pepper will be added.

Storage

Store your Frozen Summer Truffle in the freezer. Take them out of the freezer 5/10 minutes before using them. For optimal consistency, shave within ten minutes.
