THE TRUFFLE

ONLY THE BEST LOCAL HARVEST

Inside the shop, truffle is the undisputed protagonist: White, Black and Summer truffles collected in Piemonte, our region, known as the best in the world for truffle quality.

Depending on the season, Tartufi Ponzio offers the local harvest best: Piedmont region truffles, extremely fresh, selected with rigor and competence.

HOW TO STORE IT

Fresh truffle is a highly perishable product: its life is short and in order to enjoy it to the fullest, it must be savored within a few days of harvesting.
However, there are some tricks that allow you to improve its fragrance and consistency for a few days: without removing the soil, wrap each truffle, in a cloth or paper towels. Replace napkins every day.
Store it in the refrigerator (+ 2 ° C / + 4 ° C) allowing it to “breathe” in a container that is not hermetically closed. It is important to know that dairy products, eggs and meat if stored close by, they will absorb the truffle aroma.
When the truffle starts to become rubbery to the touch, it is advisable to eat it immediately, as it has reached the maximum level of ripeness.

Among the Tartufi Ponzio shelves you can find other authentic artisan specialties like fresh pasta, cheeses, local delicacies and a carefully selected collection of Piedmontese wines and grappas, which also represent an attraction for all those who love “good things in life”.
