Product Description:
When the fresh truffle season ends (yes, a dark day indeed in kitchens around the world), we're thankful that there is an alternative to get our truffle fix. Enter preserved truffles. These are not as pungent or flavorful as the fresh kind, however, at a much more accessible price, they do allow you to experiment with truffle recipes. Summer truffles will not be very striking out of the jar, or have much aroma or flavor if used raw. Rather, you need to coax the flavors out, and they will need to be heated up or cooked with to bring out the flavors. Best for used in hot dishes like risottos, omelettes and mashed potatoes. The heat of the dish itself will help bring out the aromas.

GourmetFoodStore, a company that has a large selection of gourmet food items and seems to know their business, carries a product entitled "SUMMER BLACK FRENCH TRUFFLES- BRUSHED FIRST CHOICE". I purchased this item then, after opening and tasting it, called the company to complain about the flavor and ... Read More
