What is a black truffle?
When we talk about the black truffle (Truffle melanosporum), we're referring to a fungus that lives underground and develops in symbiosis with the roots of various trees, primarily holm oaks, oaks, and hazelnut trees. It also grows in some cases with certain pines (Aleppo and Scots pines) and rockroses (Cistus albidus). The fungus is blackish or brown on the outside and rounded, though each one is slightly different in shape. Inside, it's dark with various white veins of different patterns.
The black truffle (Truffle melanosporum) is harvested during the winter season using specially trained animals. Truffle dogs are the primary method used; thanks to their powerful sense of smell, they track the scent to the fungus, then dig in the ground and mark the location of the black truffle.
This fungus is one of the most luxurious ingredients in cooking and is known as the black diamond. At Sentidos Truferos, we make it easy for you to buy black truffles online and have them delivered to your door with just one click. Are you ready to enjoy the endless culinary possibilities of the black truffle?
Buy black truffles for cooking
Black truffles are an excellent ingredient, but they must be used to their fullest potential, as they typically retain their aroma for only 15 days after being harvested. Therefore, it is essential to know how to store black truffles properly before buying them for cooking.
You've probably seen a thousand and one ways to preserve truffles, but the truth is that it's very difficult to preserve the properties of the black truffle and keep them intact over time.
At Sentidos Truferos, we recommend that before purchasing black truffles, you carefully read how to preserve them. Once you have the black truffle in your hands, remove it from its packaging, wrap it in absorbent kitchen paper, and place it in an airtight glass jar. It is essential to change the absorbent paper wrapping the truffle daily to preserve it for longer while maintaining its exact properties.

La calidad, el aroma, la especie (Tuber melanosporum) y el sabor son exactamente los mismos. La única diferencia es puramente estética. Las trufas enteras son piezas redondas visualmente perfectas, ideales para laminar en mesa frente a comensales. Los trozos proceden de piezas que se han partido de forma natural durante la recolección o el lavado; son la opción más económica y perfecta para rallar, hacer salsas o procesar en la cocina.
Al ser un hongo con un aroma y sabor sumamente concentrados, rinde muchísimo en la cocina. Para un plato individual gourmet (unos huevos rotos, una pasta o un risotto trufado), se suelen calcular entre 5 y 10 gramos de trufa fresca por comensal. Con una pieza pequeña de 40 gramos, por ejemplo, puedes preparar una cena espectacular para 4 o 5 personas.
