Fresh Autumn Truffle, Europe 30g-1kg

Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe is fresh autumn truffle from across Europe – Tuber uncinatum, the burgundy truffle, available from September to January. Autumn truffle has a more accessible price point than winter black truffle. However, it still delivers a genuine and satisfying truffle character. As a result, it is an excellent choice for those who want to cook with fresh truffle regularly without the premium of melanosporum. Furthermore, Tuber uncinatum has a pleasant hazelnut and earthy flavour with a mild truffle aroma. In particular, it suits applications where fresh truffle adds character and depth. It works best when contributing rather than acting as the sole star.

About Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe

We source our fresh truffles directly from specialist truffle hunters and brokers. We work with suppliers across Italy and France. In particular, we work only with suppliers who can guarantee the provenance, species and freshness of every truffle. As a result, the truffles we deliver meet the standard demanded by the finest restaurant kitchens in the world. Furthermore, fresh truffles are among the most perishable of all ingredients. Their extraordinary aroma begins to fade from the moment they leave the ground. However, a short supply chain is the most important factor in truffle quality. In particular, a truffle arriving within 48 to 72 hours of harvest is a completely different ingredient. One that has travelled for a week is simply not the same thing. Additionally, we verify species identification on every delivery. That verification protects you from the substitution that is common in the truffle trade. That is why Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe from The Artisan Food Company consistently meets the expectations of professional chefs and passionate home cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe From Us

Using fresh truffle well requires restraint above all else. In contrast to most luxury ingredients, truffles do not benefit from cooking. As a result, the finest preparations add truffle at the very last moment. Alternatively, serve it raw, shaved directly over the dish. Furthermore, heat destroys the volatile aromatic compounds that make truffle extraordinary. However, infusing truffle flavour into fats works beautifully. Store truffle overnight in a jar with eggs, for example. The eggs absorb the aroma through their porous shells. In particular, fresh truffle pairs most powerfully with rich, neutral bases that carry rather than compete with the aroma. Moreover, butter, cream, eggs, pasta and risotto all serve this purpose. Additionally, a Microplane or a truffle slicer is essential. Shave truffle as thinly as possible to maximise both flavour and coverage. That is why we include guidance with every order.

How to Use Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe

To get the very best from Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe:

• Shave thinly over finished pasta, risotto or eggs for a clean truffle character.
• Infuse into cream or butter at a very low temperature to carry the flavour into sauces.
• Furthermore, fresh autumn truffle makes an outstanding and practical everyday truffle butter to keep in the fridge for finishing pasta, steaks or vegetables.
• Additionally, shave over a pizza bianca or bruschetta for a simple and satisfying truffle preparation.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe pairs most powerfully with:

• Fresh pasta with good butter and Parmesan – the simplest and most satisfying base
• Risotto bianco or a simple orzotto where the neutral grain carries the aroma
• A chilled white Burgundy, Chablis or a light earthy Pinot Noir alongside
• Eggs, soft-boiled or scrambled – the most natural carrier for truffle flavour

Storage: Wrap each truffle individually in dry kitchen paper and store in a sealed glass jar in the fridge. Change the paper daily as the truffle releases moisture. Furthermore, place eggs, uncooked rice or butter in the jar alongside. They absorb the truffle aroma and become outstanding ingredients. However, use fresh truffles as soon as possible after delivery. White truffles keep for 4 to 7 days and black truffles for up to 14 days. Delivered fresh, packed with care and ready to use immediately.

However you use it, Fresh Autumn Truffle Europe transforms any dish with an aroma and flavour that nothing else in the natural world replicates. Moreover, fresh truffle at its peak is one of the most extraordinary ingredients a cook can ever work with.
