Frozen whole black truffle is a practical way to bring truffle aroma to the kitchen all year round, with consistent yield and no waste. Frozen whole at -18 °C soon after harvest, it keeps much of its earthy scent of woodland and mushroom. Professional 250 g format, origin Romania.
What Is Frozen Black Truffle?
This is a whole black truffle, most likely Tuber aestivum (summer truffle, Scorzone), frozen soon after harvest to lock in its aroma. Freezing preserves the truffle for months and gives a steady, year-round supply, with a milder but still characteristic woodland scent compared with fresh truffle.
Origin: Romania
Romania is one of Europe's main sources of summer black truffle, gathered in its oak and hazel woodlands. Each truffle is cleaned, frozen whole and supplied in a 250 g pack for professional kitchens.
How to Use It from Frozen
Use the truffle straight from frozen: grate or shave it while still hard, directly over hot dishes, where the heat releases its aroma. Do not thaw it at room temperature, as it would turn rubbery and lose scent. If needed, take it out 5 to 10 minutes before slicing very thin.
Professional Uses
- Grated or shaved over pasta, risotto and soups.
- On eggs, omelettes, bruschetta and crostini.
- With white and red meats, poultry and delicate fish.
- To make truffle butter, cream or flavoured oil.
Storage
Keep frozen at -18 °C until use. Do not refreeze once thawed. Stored frozen, the truffle keeps its aroma for several months, giving a reliable supply outside the fresh truffle season.
