Fresh black truffle slices
Tuber melanosporum
The black truffle is the most emblematic, the most legendary of truffles. The truffle we think of whenever the famous “black diamond” is mentioned.
Off-season
Key information
Ingredients
Fresh black truffle (Tuber melanosporum).
STORAGE
These fresh truffles have already been washed and are ready to use. They will stay fresh for about a week if refrigerated. Take them carefully out their sachet and place in an airtight container lined with absorbent paper towel (to be changed every two days). For use at a later date, these truffle pieces can be frozen in a freezer bag.
THE RIGHT QUANTITY
Allow around 10 g of truffles per person. To retain all their delicious flavour, do not heat truffles – simply add to your dishes at the last minute. Frozen truffle should not be thawed before use.
The black truffle is the most emblematic and mythical of all truffles, the one that springs to mind when you think of the famous "black diamond".
At the beginning of the 20th century, France harvested 1,000 tonnes of black truffles a year, but today the figure is little more than 30 tonnes a year. Its colour and flesh are both black.
Its scent, instantly recognisable, goes well with a wide range of dishes, from meat (game, red meat, poultry, etc.) and fish in sauce, to mashed potatoes, pasta and risottos.
Made from thin slices and small pieces of black truffle, the shavings are ideal in purées, pastas, scrambles and risottos.
Tasting advice
These black truffle shavings are ideal in purées, pastas, brouillades and risottos.
Truffle & Wine Pairing
Great red Bordeaux or Côtes du Rhône wine

Published Mar 20, 2026 at 10:05 pm (Order date: Mar 09, 2026)Did not taste the flavor, did not receive the instructions and even if I had followed the instructions, what about the result? Nice team (Translated review)
Merchant's answer
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not find the expected taste with the black truffle shavings. The shavings are a more fragile product than the whole truffle: being already cut, they oxidize more quickly, which can diminish their aromatic intensity. To get the best out of them, we recommend using them at the last moment, on a hot dish, ideally in contact with a fatty substance (butter, cream, eggs...), which helps to reveal the aromas. However, we understand your concern regarding the result, even when following the instructions, and your feedback is important to us in order to improve our support. We also thank you for your comment about our team, it makes us very happy. Do not hesitate to contact our customer service so that we can discuss with you and offer you a suitable solution. Best regards, The Plantin team
