Buying quality Black Truffle is easy if you know how to do it; in this post we give you the keys to differentiate Truffle Melanosporum from other similar fungi.
When you receive the whole Black Truffle, you must ensure that it is in good condition, so it should have a fairly hard consistency and certain characteristics:
- The external appearance should be dark brown. Sometimes it has a small cut; this is to check the mushroom's maturation , so don't worry, it's not broken or bruised.
- Blackish-purple tone on the inside with short, thick white veins (lines).
- Intense flavor and aroma.
- The harvest season is from November to March, so this is the optimal time to consume it. If you buy it at another time, it will have been preserved by some means and therefore will not be fresh.
You can buy truffles and preserve them in different ways: sliced with extra virgin olive oil, sliced with cheese wedges and extra virgin olive oil, grated, or powdered for later use. At Sentidos Truferos, we recommend making the most of them. When you receive them, if you're not going to use them right away, put them in a jar with eggs or rice. When you do use them, they'll have infused the flavor of other products that you can use later.
When you're going to eat it, try to minimize the time it spends on the stovetop or in the oven, as in most recipes this mushroom is added after the dish is finished. It can also be grated and added to cannelloni or omelets.
If you have any truffle left over after cooking, put it back in the container so the eggs absorb the aroma... you'll get excellent truffled eggs . Another option is to add it to brandy or oil.
As you can see, this product has many culinary uses.
