Truffle Recipes
the finest truffles fresh from ItalyFresh Truffles need to be prepared very carefully to ensure their unique properties are shown to full advantage. Their subtle taste and aroma can easily be overwhelmed by strong flavours, so as a general rule we recommend partnering Truffles with mild flavoured ingredients such as pasta, rice, potato and egg.
However there are certainly a number of more exotic and adventurous combinations that work wonderfully well with fresh Truffles.
Fresh truffles prepared at home will always have a more subtle and complex flavour and aroma than Truffle dishes found in Restaurants, as Restaurant Truffle dishes are almost universally produced using generous quantities of pungent synthetic truffle oils, often with a tiny amount of real truffle shavings to finish.
Below are some of our favourite fresh Truffle recipes. All of these recipes have been tried and tested. They have been carefully chosen to ensure they showcase the fresh Truffles and are guaranteed to embellish any dinner party occasion.
Truffle Preparation Guidelines
White Truffles are particularly well suited to being consumed raw. Cooking detracts from their flavour and aroma so we suggest you simply shave them over your finished dish for maximum enjoyment.
In contrast, Fresh Black Autumn and Winter Truffles do benefit from cooking in certain circumstances. Although Black Truffles are also wonderful when simply shaved raw over a finished dish, their unique flavour can be enhanced when sliced and inserted into certain mild flavoured meats and fish before cooking.
Finally, if you have any recipe suggestions of your own, we would love to hear from you.
Buon appetito!
