Truffles

Fresh truffles are seasonal, expensive and short-lived, so good preserved truffle products are the practical way to bring real truffle flavour to your kitchen all year round. Our range is small and chosen for quality: sliced and minced black summer truffles, a pair of truffle oils and a white truffle honey. Each one does a different job, so it helps to know which to reach for. Black Truffle Carpaccio holds fine slices of black summer truffle gently cooked in Italian extra virgin olive oil. It looks beautiful laid over fresh pasta or risotto or folded into eggs, and the oil makes a fine dressing. It is gluten free, dairy free and suitable for vegans. Minced Black Summer Truffles has a truffle content of 75%, so the flavour is intense and a little goes a long way in bruschetta, sauces and egg dishes. The Black & White Truffle Oil Gift Set contains two 100ml bottles: white, with a heady, garlicky aroma, and black, deep and earthy. Use them as finishing oils rather than for cooking, as heat dulls the aroma. White Truffle Honey blends organic acacia honey with white truffle, Tuber borchii, and is superb drizzled over Parmesan and pear, blue cheese or charcuterie. Store unopened jars and oils in a cool, dark cupboard. Once opened, keep jars of truffle in the fridge with the truffle covered by its oil, and use them promptly. Keep truffle oil tightly closed, as the aroma fades with air and light. The honey stays silky because acacia honey is slow to crystallise, and it has an 18 month shelf life.
