The same black winter truffles that we sell fresh, but flash frozen at the peak of the season in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees and stored in -60 freezers for maximum flavour and a much longer shelf life. Freezing is an excellent way to preserve truffles, as done by most of the leading restaurants we supply, with excellent flavour preserved. On defrosting the truffles will be soft, so are not suitable for slicing on top but excellent for chopping or grating into a dish. These are perfect for truffle pasta, risotto, butter, ice cream, sauces, etc – where the softer texture can be an advantage. Buying frozen enables you to enjoy very flavoursome truffles at a lower rate, using them as and when you need them with no concerns about shelf life, for the delicious flavour of peak season black winter truffles all the year round.
