Luca's White Truffle

Instead, it is shaved raw over warm dishes, where the gentle heat of the food acts as a catalyst, releasing a bouquet of complex gases that dance on the palate. Whether it is a simple buttered tajarin pasta, a creamy risotto, or a fried egg, the addition of fresh White Truffle shavings elevates the meal into a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. This is the ultimate indulgence for the connoisseur who demands nothing but the very best the world has to offer.

How to Store Your Fresh White Truffles

White Truffles are even more delicate than black varieties and have a shorter shelf life. Precise storage is mandatory to protect your investment.

1. Dry Cleaning: Never let water touch a White Truffle. Use a very soft brush to gently whisk away any traces of soil.

2. The Paper Shield: Wrap the truffle in a clean, dry paper towel. It must be kept bone-dry.

3. Glass Protection: Place the wrapped truffle in an airtight glass jar.

4. Refrigeration: Store in the least cold part of the fridge (usually the top shelf).

5. Change the Wrap Twice Daily: Because White Truffles are so aromatic and delicate, change the paper towel twice a day to ensure no moisture lingers.

6. The Golden Rule: Consume within 3 to 4 days. The aroma fades quickly, so do not wait for a "special occasion"—opening the jar is the occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why are White Truffles so much more expensive than Black Truffles?

A: Scarcity and science. They cannot be farmed, they only grow in specific regions during a very short season, and they have a very short shelf life. Their flavor is also significantly more complex and intense.

Q: Can I cook White Truffles into a sauce?

A: Absolutely not. High heat destroys the volatile compounds that give the White Truffle its flavor. It should only be shaved raw over hot, finished food.

Q: What is the "White Alba" truffle?

A: "Alba" is a town in Italy famous for the highest quality White Truffles. While they grow in other areas, the Alba designation is seen as the gold standard for quality and aroma.

Q: Can I store them with eggs or rice?

A: Yes! If you store them in a jar with fresh eggs (in the shell) or risotto rice, the aroma will permeate through the shells/grains. You’ll end up with truffle-infused eggs and rice to use after the truffle is gone.
