Fresh Summer Truffle, Premium, 50g-1kg

Fresh Summer Truffle Premium is premium fresh summer truffle – Tuber aestivum, the most widely available fresh truffle species, selected for superior aroma and quality in our premium grade. Summer truffle is available from May to October and provides the most accessible entry point to cooking with fresh truffle. As a result, it is the ideal choice for those new to fresh truffle or for applications where a truffle note rather than full truffle intensity is wanted. Furthermore, selecting premium grade means sourcing only the finest specimens. We look for the most developed aroma and the cleanest condition. In particular, premium summer truffle has a genuine hazelnut and earthy character. It makes an outstanding ingredient for everyday truffle cooking.

About Fresh Summer Truffle Premium

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 Summer Truffle Premium from The Artisan Food Company consistently meets the expectations of professional chefs and passionate home cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Summer Truffle Premium 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 Summer Truffle Premium

To get the very best from Fresh Summer Truffle Premium:

• Shave thinly over finished pasta, risotto, eggs or pizza bianca for a clean truffle note.
• Slice and layer into a simple sandwich of good bread, unsalted butter and sea salt for one of the best truffle preparations possible.
• Furthermore, fresh summer truffle premium makes an outstanding truffle oil base. Infuse into a mild, neutral oil for a week for a genuinely fresh result.
• Additionally, grate finely and mix into scrambled eggs before cooking for an everyday truffle egg that captures the flavour beautifully.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Summer Truffle Premium pairs most powerfully with:

• Good unsalted butter, sea salt and fresh bread – the most revealing truffle preparation
• Fresh pasta, gnocchi or risotto as the most natural kitchen base
• A chilled Chablis, white Burgundy or a dry Italian white alongside
• Eggs in any form – scrambled, soft-boiled or in an omelette

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 Summer Truffle Premium 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.
