Why
Inspect
Check aroma, firmness, visible quality, and species at delivery handoff.
Quality issues must be caught before the truffle enters service storage.
Wrap
Wrap individually in clean absorbent paper and change paper daily.
Moisture is the enemy of aroma and texture.
Chill
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator, away from strong odors.
Truffles absorb and release aromas quickly.
Use fast
Plan service quickly, especially for Black Summer Truffle - Tuber aestivum (Scorzone).
Milder species lose impact faster in practical kitchen use.
Use by species
Match technique to aroma intensity.
Fresh truffles are not interchangeable. Use each species where its aroma, texture, and intensity perform best.
