What A Grade Means
A Grade describes the physical commercial selection of the whole truffles rather than a guaranteed level of aroma or flavour intensity. Individual specimens in this selection are approximately 15–60 g and typically around 3–5 cm in diameter, with natural variation in shape and appearance.
Appearance, Aroma and Texture
Tuber aestivum typically has a dark brown to black exterior with a naturally textured surface and a light brown to hazelnut-brown interior with fine pale marbling. Its aroma is delicate and earthy with woodland notes, while the flavour is mild, earthy and subtly nutty.
Freezing naturally changes the texture of fresh truffle, and the product may become softer after defrosting. Aroma intensity, interior colour, marbling, shape and moisture vary naturally between individual truffles and production batches.
How to Use Frozen Whole Black Summer Truffles
Defrost only the quantity required under refrigeration and use it promptly. Whole truffles can be sliced, shaved, grated or chopped according to the preparation and are suitable for pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, sauces, vegetables and meat dishes.
Frozen Storage
Transfer the unopened package to a freezer immediately after delivery and keep it stored at or below −18°C. Keep the package tightly sealed to limit dehydration and absorption of odours from other frozen foods.
After defrosting, use the required quantity promptly and do not refreeze unless the current product label specifically permits it. Always follow the storage instructions and use-by or best-before date printed on the product label.
Shipping and Protective Packaging
The frozen product is placed in insulated transport packaging with cooling materials appropriate for the destination and expected transit time. Frozen products are supplied only to destinations and delivery routes where suitable transport conditions can be provided.
Delivery availability, courier service and estimated transit time are shown during checkout. Transfer the product to a freezer at or below −18°C immediately after delivery.
Important Product Information
Frozen truffles are natural products. Individual weight, diameter, shape, colour, marbling, aroma, moisture and texture vary naturally between individual specimens and production batches. A Grade describes physical commercial selection and does not guarantee aroma intensity.
