Why does the Autumn Black Truffle, (Tuber Uncinatum), Fresh, 100g format matter?

Autumn truffle is more tolerant of gentle warmth than Alba white truffle, but prolonged boiling or high oven heat still drives away the volatile aroma. A two-stage approach works well: infuse a little truffle into warm fat, then add fresh shavings at service.

How to prepare fresh autumn black truffle

1. 1. Unpack the truffle and inspect it, removing only loose soil while keeping the surface dry.
2. 2. Let the piece sit outside the fridge for 15–20 minutes so the aroma opens before service.
3. 3. Wipe with a barely damp cloth or use a soft brush; avoid soaking because excess water shortens keeping quality.
4. 4. Prepare a warm, neutral base such as buttered tagliolini, risotto, soft eggs or polenta.
5. 5. Shave thinly across the widest face so each portion receives broad, aromatic slices.
6. 6. Finish with a pinch of salt and serve immediately; add a final shaving at the table for the clearest aroma.
