Description:
Black truffles(Latin Name:TUBER INDICUM TRUFFLES) belong to the family representing the most highly prized mushrooms in the world. They are valued due to their deep, earthy, pungent aroma and flavor, combined with their scarcity.
It is best to use dried Sliced Black Truffles with relatively neutral ingredients such as mild cheeses, cream, potatoes, pasta and rice, which will allow the truffle flavor to shine. Fats can capture and enhance the aroma of truffles, so they are favored partners. Be sure to reserve the truffle soaking water after removing the rehydrated truffles, as this liquid can be used to add subtle truffle flavor to a variety of dishes.
