Why
Inspect
Check aroma, firmness, visible quality, and species at delivery handoff.
Quality issues must be caught before the truffle enters service storage.
Wrap
Wrap individually in clean absorbent paper and change paper daily.
Moisture is the enemy of aroma and texture.
Chill
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator, away from strong odors.
Truffles absorb and release aromas quickly.
Use fast
Plan service quickly, especially for Black Summer Truffle - Tuber aestivum (Scorzone).
Milder species lose impact faster in practical kitchen use.
Use by species
Match technique to aroma intensity.
Fresh truffles are not interchangeable. The storage guide doubles as an education page for chefs and home buyers.
Tuber uncinatum
Black Autumn / Burgundy Truffle - Tuber uncinatum
Works with richer fall dishes: mushrooms, poultry, potato, cheese, pasta, and egg. Better aroma for tasting menus.
Tuber borchii
Spring White Truffle - Tuber borchii
Garlicky and assertive. Use with butter, pasta, eggs, and dairy-forward plates. Name it clearly as Tuber borchii.
Tuber magnatum
White Alba Truffle - Tuber magnatum
Use raw and sparingly over simple warm dishes. Market-only, prepaid, and never treated like a normal stock item.
Tuber aestivum
Frozen Black Summer Truffle - Tuber aestivum (Scorzone)
Use for cooking, prep, sauces, and production. Frozen stock serves a different kitchen role than fresh weekly lots.

At handoff
A better truffle experience starts the moment it arrives.
Inspect aroma, firmness, and visible quality before the product enters kitchen storage. Once accepted, wrap each truffle in clean absorbent paper, place it in a sealed refrigerated container, and change the paper daily.
Plan the dish before the truffles arrive.
Fresh truffles reward preparation. Choose the species, portion size, storage plan, and first service window before delivery day.
