Frozen Black Winter Truffles – Tuber brumale

Frozen Black Winter Truffles (Tuber brumale)

Frozen Tuber brumale, commonly called the black musky or European winter truffle, gives professional kitchens an earthy, musky truffle option for cooked dishes throughout the year. This is a black truffle product—not a white truffle—and is offered in two grades and two foodservice pack sizes.

Chef applications

Use frozen Brumale in pasta, risotto, egg dishes, cream sauces, pâté-style preparations, fillings, compound butter, and meat sauces. Grate or mince while the truffle is still firm, then warm gently with a fat-rich ingredient to distribute the aroma. Freezing may soften the texture, making this format most useful for cooked preparations rather than raw tableside presentation.

Foodservice and wholesale packs

Choose 500 g for flexible kitchen use or 1 kg for higher-volume service. For recurring orders, distributor requirements, current grade specifications, or frozen-shipping lead times, contact info@trufflecart.com.
