Storing Truffles:
Do not wash truffles before storage—leave a little soil on them to help preserve freshness. Wrap each truffle individually in a clean paper towel and place them in a sealed container or jar in the refrigerator. Replace the paper towel daily. Just before serving, rinse the truffles under cold water and gently brush away any remaining soil. Pat them dry with a kitchen cloth or paper towel, and they’re ready to enjoy. For optimal flavor, consume within 7 to 9 days of delivery.
Fast Delivery:
Your truffles will arrive at your door within 24–48 hours of ordering. They are carefully packed in specially designed packaging to maintain optimal freshness and protect their delicate aroma and texture during transit, ensuring you receive them in perfect condition.
