Aromas of Black Truffle Shavings

Their intense and complex flavor is a harmonious marriage of earthy, woody, and slightly musky notes. Rich in flavor, black truffle shavings bring a unique depth to dishes, subtly enhancing their character.

Truffle, a Delicate Mushroom

Truffles remain fresh for up to 15 days after harvest. Each truffle is unique, and even those of the same variety can have significant differences depending on their maturity or the soil in which they grew. The taste and aroma of truffle are also subjective, varying from person to person. This delicate delicacy requires special care to be fully appreciated; it should be brushed and washed daily. Although its outer appearance may be irregular or damaged, a truffle should never be judged by its outer shell. Its true beauty is revealed in its flesh and aroma. Despite its appearance, an imperfect truffle can offer an exceptional taste experience.
