How to store the truffle you have bought in Truffle Valley Santanyi Mallorca

1. Store the fresh truffle in an airtight container or wrap it in kitchen paper or absorbent paper. Avoid using plastic containers, as they can accumulate humidity and accelerate the truffle’s deterioration.
2. Refrigeration: Fresh truffles should be kept refrigerated to prolong their shelf life. Place it in the coldest part of your refrigerator, usually in the vegetable compartment. Make sure it is well wrapped to prevent it from drying out or absorbing odours from other foods.
3. Change the paper: If you notice that the kitchen paper or absorbent paper has become damp, change it for a new one to prevent the truffle from being damaged.
4. Quick consumption: Fresh truffles are best consumed as soon as possible, as their flavour and aroma are more intense when freshly picked. Try to use it within 3-5 days of purchase.
5. Freezing: If you want to keep the truffle fresh for longer, you can freeze it. Wash and dry the truffle well, then cut it into small pieces or grate it and place it in an airtight freezer bag. When thawed, the texture may change slightly, but the flavour and aroma will remain the same.
