How to clean and keep fresh truffles:

The truffles we deliver are so fresh that they may still have a fine covering of soil or sand from when they were first unearthed. Gently dab with a damp cloth to clean.

We advise consuming our fresh truffles within 3 days of receiving them.

Once they have been gently cleaned, wrap each truffle individually in a fresh sheet of kitchen paper towel. Place the wrapped truffles in a clean, airtight plastic or glass container, such as a flip-top jar with a tight seal.
Change the paper towel every morning and re-wrap the truffles. Put them back in their container and refrigerate, repeating the process until you are ready to use them.

We suggest keeping fresh truffles in the coolest part of the fridge, ideally at 1 to 2°C, but be careful not to freeze them!
