The Italian Black Winter truffle has a rough, semi-spherical fruiting body that is covered with small, diamond-like projections. The surface of the truffle is jet black when fully mature. Its flesh ranges from pale grey to dark, chocolate brown when mature. The flesh is marbled with broad white veins, distinguishing them from other black truffle varieties. It is the aroma which is the most alluring quality of the Italian Black Winter truffle, a savory and pungent lingering perfume suggestive of its flavor. The flavor is distinct, with subtle undertones of garlic, shallots, hazelnuts and even chocolate. 


Applications
Italian Black Winter truffles have a strong depth of flavor, allowing them to be cooked briefly or low and slow. They can be shaved fresh as a finishing element or infused into sauces to add depth. The volatile compounds that release truffles' distinct aroma are compromised when overcooked, but fats can capture and encapsulate those aromas. Thus, it is often that they are paired with rich foods such as meat, cheese and eggs. Italian Black Winter truffles pair well with lobster, caviar, foie gras, pasta, cream sauces, garlic, shallots, light-bodied vinegars, mascarpone, aged hard cheeses, citrus and herbs such as tarragon, basil and arugula. Fresh truffles can be folded into butter to create a compound, which can be refrigerated for up to three months.

Storage:

Winter Black Truffle needs to be stored in the chiller, it can also be frozen but in this case it needs to be cooked before consumption.

Gently wrap the fresh truffle in absorbent paper, such as paper towel. Place in a dry, sealed container like Tupperware or a glass jar. Keep the container in the crisper compartment of your refrigerator avoiding the cooler areas of the fridge.
The wrapping kitchen paper needs to be changed to a new one once a day.
