What the Pieces Format Means

Pieces describes the physical format of the product rather than a commercial whole-truffle grade. Individual pieces may vary naturally in size, shape, surface and proportion.

The pieces format does not guarantee a specific aroma intensity, flavour intensity or sensory superiority.

Appearance, Aroma and Texture

Tuber melanosporum typically has a dark brown to black exterior and a dark grey to black interior crossed by pale branching veins. Its aroma and flavour are characteristic of the species, with natural variation between individual truffles and production batches.

Freezing naturally changes the texture of fresh truffle, and the product may become softer after defrosting. Aromatic intensity may also change after freezing and defrosting.

How to Use Frozen Tuber melanosporum Pieces

Defrost only the quantity required under refrigeration and use it promptly. The pieces can be chopped, grated, finely sliced where their shape permits, or incorporated into pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, butter preparations, sauces, fillings, poultry and meat dishes. Where practical, add the truffle toward the end of cooking to limit unnecessary aroma loss from prolonged high heat.

Frozen Storage

Transfer the product to a freezer promptly after delivery and keep it stored at or below −18°C. Keep the package sealed to reduce dehydration and absorption of surrounding odours. Do not refreeze thawed product unless the current product label specifically permits it.

Shipping and Protective Packaging

Frozen products are prepared for dispatch in insulated transport packaging with cooling materials. Available courier services, shipping charges and estimated transit times depend on the destination and the service selected at checkout.

Insulated transport packaging and cooling materials help protect the frozen product during transit but do not constitute continuously monitored refrigerated transport unless such a service is explicitly stated.

Important Product Information

Frozen truffle pieces are a natural product format. Individual piece size, shape, colour, marbling, moisture, texture and aroma vary naturally between pieces and production batches. The pieces format does not guarantee a specific aroma or flavour intensity.
