Dried Truffles

Description

Truffles lose their bold aroma once they are dehydrated, but they retain a subtle flavour that can be enhanced with Favuzzi truffle salt or olive oil.

After they have been rehydrated, these fine slices regain the look and texture of fresh mushrooms. They are the perfect ingredient to give your dishes a refined presentation.

Uses

Soak our dried truffles for 5 minutes in water, cream, milk or broth, then impress your guests by topping your pasta or risotto with these thin slices that will have regained the look of fresh truffles.

Distinctives attributes

Our black truffles of the Tuber æstivum Vitt. variety, also called summer truffles, come from Italy's Abruzzo region. These rare mushrooms, difficult to cultivate, grow in the soil at the foot of some trees, such as oak trees and hazelnut trees. They are harvested with the help of dogs or pigs, who can locate them thanks to their keen sense of smell. Found only in Europe during a brief season, our truffles are finely sliced and dehydrated after they are picked, ensuring their availability year-round.

Artisan

The De Laurentiis family owns an artisanal business in the Abruzzo mountain region. For two generations, it has been drawing on traditional ingredients and know-how to offer products with an authentically Italian taste. The family grows organic tomatoes, saffron and herbs on its own plots of land, and turns them into sauces and condiments thanks to a veritable regiment of cooks who busily tend the ovens.

Origin

Roccascalegna, Abruzzo, Italy.
