Fresh Bianchetto Truffles – Tuber borchii

Fresh Italian Bianchetto Truffles for Professional Kitchens

Fresh bianchetto truffle, Tuber borchii, is a white truffle harvested during winter and early spring. Truffle Cart’s current product information identifies sourcing from Italian producers; confirm the specific lot origin when regional provenance is required. Bianchetto has a pale beige exterior and cream-to-light-brown marbled flesh. It is a distinct species, not White Alba truffle, and its sharper aromatic profile should be presented on its own terms.

Flavor and chef applications

Tuber borchii has a pungent, garlicky and savory aroma. Use it raw or add it at the end of cooking, because prolonged heat quickly disperses the volatile aroma. Shave it over warm pasta, risotto, soft scrambled eggs, potatoes, poultry, or mild cheese. A small amount can also perfume butter or cream when allowed to infuse under refrigeration.

Pack sizes and grades

The live product record lists 500g (17.64oz) and 1kg (35.27oz) packs in First Class and 2nd Class. First Class is intended for more presentation-focused use, while 2nd Class is practical for slicing, chopping, infusion, and kitchen production. The page selector should remain the source of live stock and pricing.

Storage and wholesale ordering

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 every day, inspect the product, and clean it only shortly before service. Use promptly for the clearest aroma.
