FROZEN TRUFFLES

It is strongly recommended not to attempt to freeze truffles yourself; freezing must be carried out by a truffle professional. If you try to freeze truffles at home, the final product may not be edible or even dangerous. Freezing truffles (tuber) requires the use of professional freezing cells, which is particularly the case at Maison Henras. This method will help limit the creation of bacteria, so that the truffle does not become waterlogged. In addition, it is important to note that freezing does not distort the aroma of black truffles.

The use of a frozen or frozen truffle or tuber is essentially the same as for a fresh truffle. In fact, the only small difference is that we recommend that you do not wait for it to defrost before using it, for the sake of practicality. In fact, it is relatively easier to grate or slice the latter while still frozen. The frozen truffle will perfectly accompany your various preparations at the end of cooking, enhancing them with its unique taste.

We recommend that you defrost your Tuber Melanosporum in your refrigerator. This method makes it possible to avoid breaking the cold chain and avoiding any bacterial development. In addition, it is important to note that once the truffle has been thawed, it is strictly forbidden to refreeze it.

When it comes to frozen truffles, we also ship them vacuum-packed. You can store them in the freezer by keeping their vacuum packaging, which will allow better conservation.
