Fresh Spring White Truffle – Tuber borchii (B Grade)

Fresh Spring White Truffle – Tuber borchii B Grade

Fresh Tuber borchii Vittad., also known as spring white or bianchetto truffle, is a seasonal European truffle with earthy, mushroom-like and distinctly garlicky notes. This B Grade selection is intended primarily for practical culinary use where uniform shape and whole-truffle presentation are less important.

The selection consists of whole fresh truffles that may be smaller, naturally irregular or visibly marked. Individual specimens typically weigh approximately 1–8 g and may show natural cuts, scratches, surface marks or other cosmetic irregularities. Customers select the total pack size, while the number of truffles supplied depends on the natural weight of the available specimens.

What B Grade Means

B Grade describes physical selection, exterior appearance and intended culinary use. It is a commercial selection standard and does not guarantee weaker aroma.

• Form: Whole fresh truffles
• Shape: Rounded, lobed or naturally irregular
• Condition: Firm, with natural cuts, scratches and surface marks permitted
• Individual weight: Approximately 1–8 g per truffle
• Suitable for: Chopping, grating and incorporation into sauces, fillings, truffle butter, creams, pâtés and cooked preparations

Aromatic intensity depends on maturity, freshness, storage and the individual seasonal batch.

Available Pack Sizes

Available pack sizes are 100 g, 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg. Pack size is the total net quantity purchased and should not be confused with the weight of each individual truffle.

Aroma, Flavour and Texture

The exterior may range from pale cream and ochre to light reddish-brown. The interior may vary from pale cream to hazelnut or reddish-brown, crossed by fine whitish marbling. Fresh Tuber borchii may develop earthy, mushroom-like, garlicky and gently nutty notes.

The flesh should be firm when fresh and in acceptable condition. B Grade is particularly suited to chopping, grating and incorporation into recipes rather than uniform tableside presentation. Colour, marbling, moisture, firmness and aromatic intensity vary naturally between individual wild truffles and seasonal batches.

How to Use Fresh Tuber borchii B Grade

Clean gently only shortly before use. Remove loose soil with a soft brush and use a small amount of cold running water only when necessary. Do not soak. Pat dry with clean absorbent paper.

Chop, grate or finely slice according to the recipe. Add near the end of preparation or shortly before serving. Avoid prolonged cooking, frying or intense direct heat. Use in sauces, fillings, truffle butter, creams, pâtés, pasta, risotto, egg dishes, potatoes and other cooked preparations.

Freshness, Packing and Delivery

Each batch is inspected before dispatch. The truffles are protected with clean absorbent material, placed in food-safe protective packaging and packed inside insulated packaging with cooling materials.

Available express services and estimated transit times depend on destination, dispatch day and checkout options. Express Delivery in Insulated Packaging is not continuously monitored refrigerated transport and does not constitute a guaranteed cold chain. Open the packaging immediately after delivery, inspect the truffles and refrigerate them.

Storage After Delivery

Refrigerate promptly at approximately +2°C to +4°C in a clean, closed, food-safe container with clean absorbent paper. Inspect regularly and replace the paper whenever it becomes damp. Keep away from condensation and strongly scented foods. Do not wash, slice or grate in advance.

Plan to use the truffles promptly, preferably within approximately 5–8 days of receipt, depending on maturity and condition. This is practical guidance rather than a guaranteed shelf life.

Important: Fresh truffles are perishable food products and are not covered by the standard right of withdrawal. This does not affect your legal rights if the product arrives damaged, defective or different from what was ordered.
