About Cerqua White 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 White 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 White Truffle Butter

To get the very best from it:

• Stir into finished risotto off the heat as a luxurious mantecatura for the most fragrant result.
• Melt over warm scrambled eggs or a soft omelette just before serving.
• Furthermore, stir into mashed potato with a little warm cream for the finest truffle mash available.
• Additionally, a thin slice on warm sourdough toast with good sea salt is an outstanding simple preparation.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Risotto, scrambled eggs or mashed potato where white truffle is the focus
• Soft pasta — tagliatelle or tajarin — with Parmigiano and nothing else
• Good sourdough toast and sea salt for the simplest possible preparation
• A glass of white Burgundy, Barolo or a Piedmontese Langhe Bianco 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.
