Storage
1 to 8 days in the fridge at 1 to 4°C, in an airtight container with a sheet of absorbent paper, changing every day.
Freezing preserves the truffle’s fragrance over a longer period (up to 12 months). In an airtight container or under vacuum.
Here are a few basic principles to help you bring out the qualities of the Burgundy Truffle in your culinary preparations:
Never cook the truffle for a long time at over 80 degrees, leave it raw or infuse it.
Fats such as butter, cream and oil fix the fragrance optimally.
It’s the perfect fragrance for eggs, poultry, meat, white fish and scallops, as well as ice cream and fruit mousse such as pear.
