Essential answers about storage, freshness, shipping, weekly pricing and professional use.
Storage
Refrigerate immediately. Wrap in clean paper towel, place in an airtight container and replace the paper daily to manage moisture.
Rice method
Optional for moisture control. Dry rice can help absorb humidity and may take on truffle aroma, but it does not extend freshness indefinitely.
Freshness window
Use within 5–7 days. Fresh Summer Black Truffle is best used quickly after delivery for aroma, texture and shaving quality.
Dosage
Use 5–15g per portion depending on the dish. Summer black truffle is delicate, so larger shaving amounts may be used for stronger aromatic presence.
Best dishes
Light, warm and simple dishes work best. Use with pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, fish, meats, salads, butter, cream sauces and summer menus.
Raw or cooked
Best shaved raw or added at the end of preparation. Excessive heat can reduce its delicate summer aroma.
Shipping
EU delivery usually takes 1–2 business days. Worldwide shipping is available, depending on destination, timing and import requirements.
Photos before order
Available when possible. Buyers can request current stock photos, size indication and visual quality details before larger orders.
Size and grade
Depends on weekly stock. Size, shape, maturity and visual quality vary naturally with each harvest and market availability.
Weekly pricing
Prices move with the market. Fresh truffle prices depend on season, harvest volume, size, quality, demand and weekly availability.
Summer black profile
Delicate, nutty and earthy. Tuber aestivum is different from Tuber melanosporum and Tuber brumale, with a lighter summer aromatic profile.
