HARVEST PERIOD

The harvesting and marketing season for the Bianchetto truffle runs from January 1st to April 15th, giving truffle lovers an opportunity to enjoy this delicacy during winter and spring.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Fresh truffles are stored in the refrigerator (1-3 degrees), for 7-10 days, in a glass container, in a generous layer of rice or individually wrapped in a paper napkin. Truffles should be kept dry for best quality and flavor. Replace the paper towel regularly every 2-3 days to prevent moisture build-up. Truffles can be frozen for 3 – 6 months, but some flavor will be lost in the process.

CONSUMPTION

Truffles are cleaned of impurities under a jet of cold water, with a special brush.
