Our Fresh Burgundy Truffles are sourced from Italy's prime truffle regions during autumn harvest season. These truffles offer an excellent introduction to gourmet truffles for those new to this ingredient.

Burgundy truffles have a milder flavour profile compared to winter truffle varieties. They feature earthy flavours with notes of hazelnut and subtle garlic. The interior has a marbled appearance and delivers hints of caramel and vanilla that complement dishes without overwhelming other ingredients.

Each truffle is hand-selected by experienced foragers when fully ripe. They arrive with their natural dark, textured skin that preserves the aromatic oils inside. We inspect every truffle to ensure you receive high-quality specimens with good aroma and flavour.

These truffles work well shaved over pasta, risotto, eggs, or incorporated into sauces and butter preparations.

Culinary Applications

For the ultimate truffle experience, gently scrape away the tough outer peridium (skin) with a paring knife to reveal the treasured interior—this removes any potential bitterness and allows the truffle's delicate caramel and vanilla essence to shine through.

Serving Suggestions

• Shave paper-thin over creamy risottos or fresh pasta with butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano
• Scrambled eggs or omelettes with generous truffle shavings
• Transform simple dishes like polenta, mashed potatoes, or warm salads
  
• Pair with mild baked cheeses (Camembert) to create an indulgent starter or supper.

Always shave truffles directly over warm, preferably buttery dishes to maximise aroma release. The heat activates the volatile compounds that create the truffle's signature fragrance.

Care & Storage

Refrigerate immediately in an airtight container. Wrap each truffle individually in an absorbent paper towel, replacing the paper daily to maintain dryness and prevent moisture buildup. This method preserves both texture and aroma integrity.

Best enjoyed within 5 days of arrival for peak flavour and aroma intensity.
