How to enjoy

The fresh black truffle can be enjoyed in all manner of ways! The simplest way is to serve it on a slice of lightly buttered bread with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel. You can also add it to your dishes when they are almost cooked and let the heat unleash its flavours. Too much heat, on the other hand, can spoil its aromas so be careful! Grate at the last minute over meat or fish for a very simple way to take your dishes to the next level. Truffles go wonderfully with fatty foods so mix into cheese or butter, then leave to infuse for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator.
