Perigord Truffles (Melanosporum), Frozen, 100g at a glance
Perigord Truffles (Melanosporum), Frozen, 100g is the exact live product used here. Facts were checked on 29 August 2026. Current variants and availability can change.
Which product facts are verified?
- Shave thin over risotto, fresh egg pasta, or beef carpaccio.
- Whole Perigord black truffles, frozen at the source within hours of harvest to lock in the species' deep, nutty, almost chocolatey character.
- Sourced from Australia in July and August, from France between November and March.
- Freezing keeps the aroma where shaved fresh truffle would not survive.
- The trade-off is texture, frozen Perigord softens slightly on thaw, so this is the cooking truffle, not the shaving truffle.
- Used the right way, it gives you the same flavour foundation chefs build sauces around.

Why does format change the result?
Sourced from Australia in July and August, from France between November and March. The useful comparison uses the same unit, preparation state and intended dish. Otherwise pack size can be mistaken for quality.
Beleaev decision rule: choose the verified format that fits the guest count and service job. A broader premium claim is not a substitute for that match.
What commonly goes wrong?
- Choosing the category without checking the exact format.
- Planning portions before confirming the variant.
- Using a strong sauce before tasting the product simply.
- Relying on an old article instead of the current label for care.
How should it be stored and handled?
Follow the current page and pack label. Keep chilled or frozen products within the stated cold chain, separate raw items from ready-to-eat food and do not improvise thawing or refreezing. See the Food Standards Agency on chilling and cooking food safely.
Planning rule: decide storage space, preparation time and service sequence before accompaniments. This protects the product from a rushed final ten minutes.
Allergens and final checks
Ingredients and allergens can differ between products and batches. Read the pack every time. The Food Standards Agency's allergy guidance is general; the product label is specific.
