SELECTION OF FRESH BLACK TRUFFLES
Our fresh truffles arrive in our preparation workshops in batches of soil. Our experts are then responsible for sorting, washing, brushing and canning each truffle , one by one by hand. This meticulous method allows you to select the best product for your plates.
During the selection our experts are interested in the shape and size of the truffles , to offer you a product that is easily transformed in the kitchen. However, another factor comes into play and it is by far the most important, the flavor of the truffle . Canifing (making a cut in the skin of a fresh truffle) allows our professionals to check the quality of the truffle. They check the color of the flesh which must be dark, with white veins.
FRESH BLACK TRUFFLES FROM PERIGORD
The term “Périgord” corresponds to the regulatory name of the truffle variety Tuber melanosporum . It is not a designation of origin. Périgord black truffles ( Tuber melanosporum) can therefore be harvested in France, Spain, Italy, Australia and even Chile. We find this name on other products, such as button mushrooms or Brussels sprouts.
The Périgord black truffle is recognized for its subtle and intense flavors; for almost two centuries we have made it a house specialty. Composed of more than fifty aromatic nuances, the black truffle is a complex gastronomic product. We take great care in its preparation to guarantee you exceptional fresh truffles .
The woody notes of Tuber melanosporum are ideal for elevating and enhancing your culinary preparations. The black truffle has another advantage, it is edible raw but can also be cooked, which allows a use where only your creativity will be the limit.
