How should you store your fresh truffle?
We would recommend taking fresh Truffles out of the vacuum bag on receipt. Truffles naturally give off moisture so will start to ‘sweat’ if left sealed in the same bag for more than a couple of days. This will speed up decomposition.
Store your Truffle(s) in a closed glass jar or Tupperware box with lid, lined in kitchen paper. Always store in the fridge at 2-5 degrees. Change the lining paper and dry the container daily.
If storing for more than a day or two open your container every couple of days to allow the Truffle to breathe. Air the Truffle for a minute or so and change the cloth, wiping the inside of the container free of any condensation, before resealing.
If a light white mould starts to form on the surface of a Truffle there is no need to worry, it’s completely harmless, but should be brushed off as soon as possible with a clean toothbrush or similar.
Let the Truffle come to room temperature when ready to serve.
