What A Grade Means

A Grade consists of whole Tuber mesentericum truffles selected for good overall presentation and culinary use. Natural rounded and irregular shapes are accepted, together with limited superficial cuts, scratches or minor broken areas consistent with the commercial grade.

Individual Truffle Size

Individual truffles generally weigh approximately 15–200 g and measure approximately 3–8 cm in diameter. Because truffles develop naturally underground, variation in weight, diameter, shape and surface appearance is expected.

Aroma, Flavour and Texture

Fresh Tuber mesentericum has a characteristic and distinctive aroma that may include earthy, woodland and phenolic notes. The interior is typically dark grey to black with contrasting pale veins, although its exact colour and marbling vary naturally between individual truffles.

The texture should be firm when fresh and in suitable condition. Aroma intensity varies naturally according to maturity, harvest conditions and the individual specimen.

How to Use Fresh Bagnoli Truffle

Clean the truffle gently shortly before use. Slice, shave or grate it according to the dish and add it near the end of preparation or immediately before serving.

Recommended culinary uses include:

• shaved or sliced over pasta and risotto;
• served with eggs;
• combined with potatoes and root vegetables;
• used in sauces and savoury preparations;
• paired with mushrooms and seasonal vegetables;
• served with poultry, beef, veal or game.

Because the aroma of Tuber mesentericum is distinctive, use balanced seasoning and avoid ingredients that may completely mask the natural profile of the truffle.

Freshness, Packing and Delivery

Every order is inspected before dispatch. The truffles are carefully wrapped in absorbent paper, placed in food-safe protective packaging and packed in insulated packaging with cooling materials. You can also view the fresh truffles currently in season before ordering.

Storage After Delivery

Do not wash, slice, shave or grate the truffles until shortly before preparation.
