Fresh Tuber magnatum White Truffle – Small Size

Small Fresh White Truffle – Tuber magnatum

This small-size selection consists of small whole truffles, naturally irregular specimens and occasional larger pieces of fresh, wild-harvested Tuber magnatum Pico. Individual truffles or pieces typically weigh between 1 and 10 grams and measure approximately 1–3 cm, making the selection suitable for shaving, grating and practical kitchen preparation.

The truffles may have naturally regular, lobed or irregular shapes. Minor superficial scratches, clean cuts or small incomplete areas can occur during harvesting and inspection without affecting their intended culinary use. Colour, shape, marbling and aroma vary naturally between individual truffles and seasonal batches.

Small size describes the physical dimensions of the truffle. It does not guarantee stronger or weaker aroma. Aromatic intensity depends primarily on maturity, freshness, storage and the characteristics of the individual seasonal batch. Follow the complete guidance on how to store fresh truffles immediately after delivery.

Aroma, Flavour and Culinary Use

Fresh Tuber magnatum develops a pronounced and complex aroma, often described as earthy, savoury and slightly garlicky. Its flavour is delicate and is best appreciated when the truffle is shaved or grated very thinly.

Add the truffle immediately before serving over warm, finished dishes such as pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, polenta or mild cheeses. The warmth of the dish helps release the aroma. Avoid prolonged cooking, frying or boiling, as high heat reduces the volatile aromatic compounds.

Natural Seasonal Variation

Fresh truffles are wild seasonal products. Size, shape, exterior colour, internal marbling, moisture and aromatic intensity can vary from one specimen and batch to another. Product photographs show representative examples rather than an identical item.
