The different Terra Ross grades describe the physical selection of the truffles, including size, shape, surface condition and suitability for different culinary applications. Grade does not guarantee stronger or weaker aroma, because aromatic intensity varies naturally with maturity, freshness, storage and the individual seasonal batch.

Individual size varies according to the selected commercial grade and the natural characteristics of the current batch. Exact weight, dimensions and shape vary between specimens, so the product-specific grade information should be used for the applicable size range rather than assuming one universal size for all Tuber borchii selections.

Choose the grade according to the intended use. More visually regular whole specimens are useful when presentation and thin tableside slicing are important, while less regular selections can be suitable when the truffle will be sliced, grated, chopped or incorporated into a preparation. Always check the individual product page for the exact characteristics of the selected grade.

Fresh Tuber borchii can develop earthy, mushroom-like and distinctly garlicky notes, sometimes accompanied by gently nutty or buttery nuances. The exact aroma and flavour vary naturally according to maturity, freshness, storage conditions and the individual seasonal batch.

Fresh Tuber borchii can be shaved, thinly sliced, grated or chopped depending on the grade and intended dish. It is well suited to pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, butter, cream, mild cheeses, fish and poultry. Add it near the end of preparation or immediately before serving and avoid prolonged cooking or intense direct heat.

Clean the truffles only shortly before preparation. Remove loose soil with a soft brush and use a small amount of cold running water only when necessary. Do not soak them. Pat them dry carefully with clean absorbent paper before slicing, shaving, grating or chopping.

Refrigerate fresh Tuber borchii promptly at approximately +2°C to +4°C in a clean, dry, closed food-safe container with clean absorbent paper. Inspect the truffles regularly and replace the paper when it becomes damp. Keep them away from condensation and strongly aromatic foods, and do not wash or cut them in advance.

Plan to use fresh Tuber borchii promptly, preferably within approximately 5–8 days of receipt depending on maturity and condition. This is practical guidance rather than a guaranteed shelf life. Inspect the truffles regularly during refrigerated storage and use them as soon as practical.

Fresh Tuber borchii truffles are inspected before dispatch, protected with clean absorbent material and placed in food-safe protective packaging inside insulated packaging with cooling materials where appropriate.
