About Summer Truffle Premium Extra

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

Why Choose Summer Truffle Premium Extra 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 Summer Truffle Premium Extra

To get the very best from Summer Truffle Premium Extra:

• Shave tableside directly over the finished dish for the most dramatic and aromatic presentation.
• The larger size makes slicing easier and more even. Use a dedicated truffle slicer for the finest result.
• Furthermore, extra-large specimens are outstanding for truffle butter. A single large truffle grated into good butter creates a generous quantity for finishing multiple dishes.
• Additionally, photograph before using. The impressive size of extra-large summer truffle makes it one of the most visually striking ingredients available.

Perfect Pairings

Summer Truffle Premium Extra pairs most powerfully with:

• Fresh pasta with butter and Parmesan – shave generously tableside for maximum impact
• Risotto bianco where the neutral creamy base carries the truffle aroma completely
• Scrambled eggs or a truffle omelette – a classic and outstanding preparation
• A chilled white Burgundy, aged Chablis or a serious Italian white alongside

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, Summer Truffle Premium Extra 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.
