What is broken black truffles?
This gourmet condiment is made up of small pieces of black truffles, often slivers or fragments coming from cutting whole truffles.
After sorting, selecting and cleaning our truffles, we collect all the shards that come off our first category black truffles to make them into shards. Often these are slightly soft parts of the truffle or leftovers from cutting pieces of fresh truffle. We also add second category truffles which we grind very finely to obtain a 100% Tuber Melanosporum broken mixture. It is then enriched with our tasty black truffle juice for an intensity of flavor.
These pieces retain all the distinctive taste of black truffles, offering a more affordable alternative to whole truffles. Black diamond is renowned for its earthy, musky taste that adds depth and complexity to your dishes.
To ensure good quality broken black truffles, you must check its color; the lighter it is, the more it is made with early season truffles, which are less aromatic. The texture should not be liquid. Broken material that drips easily indicates that it has been lightly crushed and contains less truffle juice. There should also be small, distinct shards of truffles.
