Fresh Burgundy Truffle – Tuber uncinatum C Grade
Fresh Burgundy Truffle (Tuber uncinatum), also known as the autumn truffle, is a seasonal European truffle with an earthy woodland aroma, firm texture and characteristic nutty flavour. C Grade provides a practical format for grating, chopping, sauces, fillings and other preparations where whole-truffle presentation is not required.
Terra Ross C Grade truffles are individually inspected and selected for freshness, firmness, maturity and culinary suitability. Choose the required total quantity from the available pack-size options.
What C Grade Means
C Grade consists primarily of very small truffles intended for practical kitchen preparation. Individual truffles may be rounded or naturally irregular and may include minor superficial scratches or clean cuts.
Up to 40% of the total product weight may consist of truffles showing these permitted physical variations. Truffles showing softness, decay, serious deterioration or visible insect infestation are not accepted.
C Grade is suitable for restaurants, professional kitchens and home cooks who intend to grate, finely chop or incorporate the truffles into sauces, fillings, compound butter and other prepared dishes.
Commercial grade primarily describes size, shape and physical condition. Aroma intensity varies naturally according to maturity, freshness, seasonal conditions and the individual harvest.
Individual Truffle Size
Individual truffles generally weigh approximately 1–5 g and measure approximately 1–3 cm in diameter. Because truffles develop naturally underground, variation in weight, diameter, shape and surface appearance is expected.
The selected product quantity refers to the total weight supplied rather than the exact number of individual truffles included in the order.
Aroma, Flavour and Texture
Fresh Tuber uncinatum has an earthy and woodland aroma with characteristic nutty, mushroom-like and savoury notes. The interior is typically dark brown with fine pale marbling, although its exact colour and pattern vary naturally between individual truffles.
The texture should be firm when fresh. Its aroma becomes more noticeable after grating or chopping, particularly when combined with warm ingredients containing butter, cream, eggs or mild cheese.
How to Use C Grade Burgundy Truffle
Clean the truffles gently shortly before use. Their small size makes them particularly suitable for grating, finely chopping or incorporating into another preparation. Add them near the end of cooking or immediately before serving.
Gentle warmth can help release the aroma, but prolonged cooking and intense direct heat should be avoided.
Recommended culinary uses include:
- grated over fresh pasta, risotto and eggs;
- finely chopped into butter or cream-based preparations;
- incorporated into sauces shortly before serving;
- combined with potatoes, mild cheeses or vegetables;
- used in fillings, savoury preparations and compound butter;
- professional kitchen applications where whole-truffle presentation is not required.
For a balanced result, use restrained seasoning and avoid ingredients that may overpower the natural aroma of the truffle.
Freshness, Packing and Delivery
Fresh truffles are inspected and packed in absorbent paper, food-safe protective packaging and insulated packaging with cooling materials. Delivery availability and estimated transit time are shown at checkout.
Storage After Delivery
Refrigerate immediately at 2–6°C in a clean, dry, food-safe container. Replace absorbent paper daily and use promptly because fresh truffles naturally lose moisture and aroma over time.
