Storage Tips
Always store fresh truffles in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container.
Gently clean them with a soft brush, and replace the paper towel lining every 24 hours to maintain freshness.
Some chefs prefer to store truffles in a container of uncooked rice. This helps absorb moisture, and the rice can later be used to prepare a flavorful risotto or pasta dish.
A light white mold may naturally develop on the outer surface of fresh truffles. Simply brush it off daily and before use.
