- Use a clean truffle shaver adjusted for thin, even slices.
- Finish the dish first and keep it warm, not aggressively hot.
- Shave the truffle directly over the plate at the pass or tableside.
- Serve immediately.
Best dishes for shaving
Warm tagliatelle, soft eggs, risotto, potatoes, burrata, and light dairy-based sauces are good foundations for Black Summer Truffle - Tuber aestivum.
Avoid
Do not shave fresh truffles long before service. The aroma fades quickly once sliced.
