B Grade describes physical selection, exterior appearance and intended use. The truffles may be smaller, less regular or more visibly marked than higher presentation grades, and natural cuts, scratches or cosmetic surface irregularities may be present. The grade does not guarantee weaker aroma.

Individual truffles typically weigh approximately 1–8 g and measure about 1–2 cm in diameter. Exact weight, dimensions, shape and appearance vary naturally between specimens and seasonal batches, so the product photographs show representative examples rather than the exact truffles supplied.

Available pack sizes are 100 g, 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg. The selected pack size is the total net quantity purchased, not the weight of one individual truffle. The number of truffles supplied therefore depends on the natural weight of the specimens in the current batch.

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

B Grade is particularly suitable for chopping, grating and incorporation into sauces, fillings, truffle butter, creams, pâtés, pasta, risotto, egg dishes and potatoes. Add the truffle near the end of preparation or shortly before serving, because prolonged cooking or intense direct heat may reduce its aromatic character.

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 chopping, grating or slicing.

Refrigerate the truffles promptly at approximately +2°C to +4°C in a clean, closed, food-safe container with clean absorbent paper. Inspect them regularly and replace the paper whenever it becomes damp. Plan to use them promptly, preferably within approximately 5–8 days of receipt, depending on maturity and condition. This is practical guidance rather than a guaranteed shelf life.

Fresh Tuber borchii is a seasonal product, and availability depends on the current harvest, weather conditions, approved supply batches and stock. The country of origin may vary between batches. The actual origin of the supplied product is stated on the label or accompanying commercial documentation.

The truffles are protected with clean absorbent material and placed in food-safe protective packaging inside insulated packaging with cooling materials. Available express services and estimated transit times depend on the destination and checkout options. This is not continuously monitored refrigerated transport and does not constitute a guaranteed cold chain. Open and inspect the delivery immediately, then refrigerate the truffles.
