  • Truffle Products are a range of truffle-infused offerings: truffle oils, truffle creams, truffle honey, and truffle salts and seasonings.

  • You can have more creative liberties when using truffle products than fresh truffles. For instance, we do not recommend pairing fresh truffles with spicy or highly acidic foods because it will take away the flavor. However, truffle products are intense and can withstand spiciness and seasonings.

    So, preserved truffle products pair well with pretty much everything! Spicy truffle wings, ramen, potato chips… any place you want some truffle, we have a product for you and that’s why we also offer a range of powders, oils, and spreads so you truly can incorporate truffles in any dish.

  • Due to the fresh nature of our truffle products, we do encourage to use the products within a certain span of time to ensure the best quality.

    Our preserved truffle products have a shelf life of 2-3 years. Once opened, our recommendation is as follows:

    Truffle Oils: 4-6 months. Store in a cool, dry place. Away from sunlight or heat.

    Truffle Honey: 4-6 months. Store in a cool, dry place. Away from sunlight or heat.

    Truffle Carpaccio/Truffle Peelings: 2-3 weeks after opening. Make sure the truffles are always covered by oil/liquid. Store in the refrigerator.

    Truffle Creams and Pates: 2-3 weeks after opening. Store in the refrigerator.

    Truffle Salts/Seasonings: 1-2 months after opening. These products come with plastic lids. Make sure to close after every use for best quality. Store in a cool, dry place. Away from sunlight or heat.
