Fresh Burgundy Truffles from the European Harvest
Fresh Burgundy truffle, Tuber uncinatum, is also called the autumn truffle. It has a dark, textured exterior and brown marbled flesh with pale veining. Truffle Cart’s live product information identifies European sourcing; the exact country can vary with the current lot. The principal harvest is listed as September through January, with a shorter weather-dependent window in March and April. Contact Truffle Cart when a specific origin or harvest date is required.
Flavor and chef applications
Burgundy truffles offer an earthy, nutty aroma with noticeable hazelnut notes. Their profile is fuller than a summer truffle but generally softer than Tuber melanosporum. Shave them over warm pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, poultry, or soft cheese. They also work well in compound butter and cream-based infusions. Keep the supporting ingredients simple and avoid aggressive heat so the aroma remains clear.
Pack sizes and grades
Choose 50g, 250g (8.82oz), 500g (17.64oz), or 1kg (35.27oz) packs in First Class or 2nd Class. The 250g, 500g and 1kg packs share the same per-weight pricing, subject to cent rounding. The 50g packs carry a 20% per-weight premium for smaller-order packing and logistics. First Class is the presentation choice for whole truffles and table-side shaving. 2nd Class is useful when appearance matters less and the truffle will be sliced, chopped, or infused. The product selector displays current stock and live pricing for each combination.
Storage and wholesale ordering
On arrival, wrap each truffle in clean, dry paper towel and refrigerate in a covered glass or food-safe container at 2–4°C (35–39°F). Replace the towel daily and clean the truffle only just before service. For the strongest aroma, plan to use fresh Burgundy truffles promptly.
