Steps

  1. Inspect aroma and firmness before service.
  2. Use a clean truffle shaver adjusted for thin, even slices.
  3. Finish the dish first and keep it warm, not aggressively hot.
  4. Shave the truffle directly over the plate at the pass or tableside.
  5. 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.
