Fresh Tuber uncinatum for Seasonal Culinary Use
Fresh Tuber uncinatum, commonly known as Burgundy Truffle or Autumn Truffle, has an earthy woodland aroma with characteristic nutty, mushroom-like and savoury notes.
Its profile works particularly well with pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, butter, cream, mild cheeses, mushrooms, vegetables and selected meat dishes. For best results, clean the truffle shortly before use and slice, shave or grate it near the end of preparation or immediately before serving.
Individual aroma intensity, colour, marbling, maturity, shape and surface appearance vary naturally between truffles and seasonal harvests.

For the best aroma, flavour and texture, Terra Ross recommends using fresh Tuber uncinatum preferably within approximately 5–8 days, depending on the condition of the individual truffles when received and how they are stored.
This period is guidance rather than a guaranteed shelf life. Always assess the smell, firmness and overall condition before use.
Clean fresh Burgundy Truffles gently shortly before preparation rather than washing them in advance.
Remove remaining soil carefully with an appropriate soft brush and only as much water as necessary. Dry the truffle before slicing, shaving or grating and avoid unnecessarily abrading the natural surface.
Fresh Tuber uncinatum can be sliced, shaved or grated over pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, vegetables and suitable meat dishes.
It is generally best added near the end of preparation or immediately before serving. Gentle warmth can help release the aroma, while prolonged cooking or intense direct heat may reduce the aromatic character of the fresh truffle.
Commercial grades for fresh Tuber uncinatum describe physical selection characteristics such as size, shape, condition, integrity and presentation.
Terra Ross offers different grades to suit different culinary applications and presentation requirements. Depending on the grade, individual truffles may differ in size, regularity of shape, surface condition and overall visual presentation.
Grade does not guarantee a fixed level of aroma or flavour intensity. These characteristics vary naturally according to maturity, individual specimen, harvest conditions and seasonal batch.
For the exact size, condition and selection criteria of a particular grade, always refer to the Quality Characteristics section of the specific Tuber uncinatum product page.
No. Commercial grade primarily describes physical selection characteristics such as size, shape, condition, integrity and presentation.
Aroma intensity is influenced by maturity, the individual specimen, harvest conditions, storage and natural seasonal variation.
A higher commercial grade therefore does not guarantee a fixed or stronger level of aroma or flavour.
Open the transport packaging promptly after delivery and inspect the fresh truffles.
Transfer them to a refrigerator at approximately +2°C to +4°C, wrap them in clean absorbent paper and store them in a clean, closed glass container.
If the parcel arrives damaged, significantly delayed or the truffles appear to be in an unsuitable condition, photograph the parcel and products and contact Terra Ross promptly.
