Frequently Asked Questions About Frozen Tuber melanosporum
Practical guidance on identification, grades, storage, defrosting and culinary use of frozen Black Truffle.Frozen Tuber melanosporum is Black Truffle preserved by freezing for use beyond the fresh season. Depending on the product, it may be supplied as whole truffles, pieces or another specified frozen format.
Yes. Tuber melanosporum is the scientific name of the species sold by Terra Ross as Black Truffle. It is also widely known as Périgord Black Truffle.
Freezing naturally changes the texture of the truffle, and the product may become softer after defrosting. Aroma intensity may also differ from freshly harvested truffle. Frozen truffle should therefore not be described as identical to fresh truffle.
Keep the product frozen at or below −18°C. Transfer it to a freezer immediately after delivery, keep the package sealed and protect the product from dehydration and surrounding odours. Follow the use-by or best-before date stated on the current product label.
Defrost only the quantity required under refrigeration. Use the product promptly after defrosting and avoid unnecessary exposure to room temperature.
Do not refreeze thawed product unless the current product label specifically permits it.
Frozen Tuber melanosporum can be sliced, grated or chopped for pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, sauces, butter preparations, poultry and meat dishes. Where practical, add it toward the end of cooking to limit unnecessary aroma loss from prolonged high heat.
Not necessarily. Aroma intensity varies naturally between individual truffles and batches and may change after freezing and defrosting. Frozen Black Truffle should not be expected to reproduce exactly the sensory characteristics of freshly harvested truffle.
Commercial grades describe physical selection characteristics such as size, shape, condition, intactness and suitability for presentation or preparation. Grade does not guarantee a specific aroma intensity, flavour intensity or sensory superiority.
Collect and inspect the parcel promptly and transfer the product immediately to a freezer at or below −18°C. If the parcel is damaged, significantly delayed or shows signs that the frozen condition may not have been maintained, photograph the parcel and product and contact Terra Ross before use.
