What is black truffle peel?
Black truffle peel are fragments or shavings of truffles that remain after cleaning and preparing fresh truffles. They are often recovered when preparing whole truffles for sale. After selection, the truffle peels are placed in jars. We then speak of “net weight of truffle when packed”. Then truffle juice and salt are added, forming the “net weight”. The jars are then sterilized. The “drained net weight” corresponds to the weight of the cooked truffle peels, without the juice contained in the jar.
To find out more about the weight of first boiling truffles, visit our blog. This is a technique used by Maison Henras to ensure sterilization is applied to our truffles in order to preserve all their flavors.
Although the peels are not as impressive as whole truffles, they maintain the same intense flavor and are more accessible in terms of price and all year round.
