The winter black truffle comes under many names including Perigord, Precious black or Sweet rare black (Tuber Melanosporum) is, after the white truffle, considered the most valuable and desirable. Renowned for its complex, slightly sweet notes and earthy undertones, it's the most aromatic of the black truffles. Prices can reach £1800/kg for fully mature, whole, round pieces.

This is a jar of 30g whole winter black truffle in a little water. It lasts for years and makes a very good alternative to fresh truffle without the huge cost.

Use: It has many uses in international cuisine. Like the white, it can be shaved directly onto just cooked dishes of pasta, rice, meat, fish, potatoes and omelettes. It can also be added at the end of cooking so the heat will bring out all its flavour. Real Haute Cuisine at home!

A renowned and much sought-after truffle which is found mainly across central Italy. The bianchetto is often confused with the white as at first sight they appear quite similar. It is fairly strong and a little piquant, so only small amounts need be used to give a lovely fresh truffle flavour. The bianchetto can be enjoyed in all the classic white truffle dishe, such as risotto or porcini sauce.

The Black Summer Truffle Tuber Aestivum Vitt is a classic to add a truffle flavouring to your dishes. It has a strong aroma but is actually fairly delicate to taste. For this reason it is often added to sauces like a stock. Much cheaper than its more prestigious brothers, the white or superior black it is a great affordable way to try one of gems of world cuisine.

These are 100% dried Extra-grade quality Porcini (Boletus Edulis or Cep) mushrooms picked from the Umbrian forests and prepared by our friends at Poddi Tartufi.

Just open the bag and marvel at the remarkably rich, heady aroma which exudes - this is the first sign of their quality. Then take a look at the large, whole pieces, not broken or flaky (check the photos below). They are full of flesh and destined to double their size in water.

Finally, once cooked, you have the inimitable nutty, woody taste that adds so much flavour and depth to so many dishes. You won't find better price for this quality in the UK!

Enjoy them in the magnificent Risotto ai funghi porcini or many other risottos. They are scrumptious lying on top of a thick succulent fillet of steak or chicken and very much at home in all kinds of pasta dishes, stews and sauces. Steak and Kidney, Beef or Chicken pies will never taste the same again.

Dried Porcini mushrooms are actually a good substitute to fresh as they concentrate all their flavour and aroma (a bit like sundried tomatoes). They are also full of proteins and make a great meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.

In the handy 25g bag are enough Porcini for 5 -6 good portions and they are so easy to prepare. Reconstitute by placing in hot water for 20-30 mins (use the water as stock). Fry them in butter, sauté or casserole. Real gourmet cuisine from the earth that doesn't cost the earth!

The rich sweetness of Acacia honey and the wonderful, subtle earthiness of finest Umbrian Spring White truffles make a fabulous and original combination. The truffles are sliced directly into the honey. This is a classic condiment to pair especially with cheese - any cheese! Also wonderful to garnish roast meat dishes especially game and as an antipasto with cured meats.

100g - from Umbria, Italy
