La Cerqua Tartufi, Truffle Butter, Black, 80g

Cerqua Black Truffle Butter is 80g of La Cerqua Tartufi black truffle butter — Italian butter infused with real black truffle for a finishing butter of exceptional depth and luxury. Cerqua Black Truffle Butter transforms any dish it touches. As a result, a small knob melted over a steak or pasta delivers a truffle intensity that no oil can replicate. Furthermore, the butter format makes truffle flavour more stable during gentle warming than oil-based products. In particular, this suits pasta, steak, mushrooms and roasted chicken equally.

About Cerqua Black Truffle Butter

La Cerqua Tartufi is an Italian truffle specialist from the Umbrian hills — one of the most celebrated truffle territories in the world. In particular, the oak forests of Umbria produce both black and white truffles that have defined Italian fine dining for centuries. As a result, La Cerqua Tartufi works directly with experienced truffle hunters and applies traditional Italian production methods. Furthermore, every product uses real truffle — not synthetic aroma — the only meaningful distinction in this category. However, truffle is remarkably sensitive and responds to heat, fat and salt in ways that reward understanding. In particular, black truffle has a more robust, earthy character suited to cooking. White truffle is more delicate and best added off the heat. Additionally, La Cerqua Tartufi products contain no artificial flavouring or preservatives. That commitment to real truffle and Italian craft defines every product from La Cerqua Tartufi. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Cerqua Black Truffle Butter From Us

Using truffle butter well rewards similar restraint to truffle oil. In contrast to plain butter, truffle butter is intensely flavoured and needs no additional seasoning. As a result, a small knob of truffle butter melted over a steak or pasta at the moment of plating delivers an extraordinary result. Furthermore, truffle butter suits any preparation where plain butter would finish a dish — basted over roasting chicken, stirred into mashed potato or melted over scrambled eggs. However, always add truffle butter off the heat or in the final seconds of cooking to preserve the truffle character. In particular, black truffle butter suits pasta, steak and roasted mushrooms. White truffle butter suits eggs, risotto and potato. Moreover, truffle butter can be rolled in cling film and frozen for slices on demand for up to 3 months. Additionally, a slice on warm bread with sea salt is one of the finest simple preparations available. That simplicity — a small amount, off the heat — defines how to use truffle butter well.

How to Use Cerqua Black Truffle Butter

To get the very best from it:

• Add a small knob over a finished steak or roasted chicken just before serving — allow it to melt around the meat.
• Stir into hot pasta with a little pasta water and Parmigiano for an instant black truffle pasta.
• Furthermore, melt over roasted mushrooms or crispy potatoes in the final minute for a side dish of real distinction.
• Additionally, use to baste roasting chicken in the last 10 minutes of cooking for a truffle-scented roast.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Pasta with Parmigiano and black pepper — the simplest black truffle preparation
• Steak, roast chicken or grilled lamb where the butter adds richness and truffle character
• Roasted mushrooms, crispy potatoes or celeriac purée alongside
• A glass of Barolo, Brunello or a bold Côtes du Rhône alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated at all times. Furthermore, truffle butter freezes well — roll in cling film and freeze for up to 3 months. However, once defrosted, use within 5 days and do not refreeze. Delivered chilled and ready to use.

However you use it, this product brings a depth and luxury that only real Italian truffle can deliver. Moreover, great truffle products always reward restraint and the finest possible base ingredients.
