Sliced Winter Black Truffle (Perigord) 25g

The winter black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum) comes under many names including Perigord, Precious black or Sweet rare black and is, after the fabled white truffle, considered the most precious and desirable. Renowned for its complex, slightly sweet notes and earthy undertones, it’s the most aromatic of the black truffles. Prices can reach £2000/kg for fully mature, whole pieces.

This is a jar of 25g winter black truffle carpaccio, which means it’s already been sliced into perfect sized shavings. All you have to do is add the shavings on top of your favourite dishes for instant haute cuisine at home! It has a shelf-life of years and makes a very good alternative to fresh truffle without the huge cost or necessity to consume immediately.

The Black winter truffle 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 is best added right at the end of cooking so the heat will bring out all its flavour.

Comes with an elegant booklet featuring a classic Italian truffle recipe (in English and Italian).
