How Much Truffle Mushroom Should I Buy?
It is recommended to purchase 7-10 grams of truffle mushrooms per person. A single 50-gram truffle is approximately the size of a golf ball and will be sufficient for a meal serving five people.
How are Truffle Mushrooms Shipped?
After sorting truffle mushrooms based on their quality, they are washed and packaged. The truffle mushrooms in vacuum-sealed packages filled with air are repackaged in insulated Styrofoam boxes containing ice packs before being shipped, ensuring the cold chain is maintained.
How to Store Truffle Mushrooms?
If you haven't consumed all the white truffle mushrooms you purchased, knowing how to store them is essential. Given the exclusivity of truffle mushrooms, preserving their aroma and quality is crucial.
White truffles should be consumed within 5 days of receiving them to maintain their aroma and quality. If not to be consumed immediately, store the truffle mushrooms without opening the vacuum package. After opening the package, store the truffles wrapped in paper towels in a glass jar in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freezing is possible. Freezing truffle mushrooms in a sealed plastic container will help preserve their aroma. However, keep in mind that frozen truffles may not provide the same intense aroma and flavor as fresh truffles.
