Frozen black winter truffle FAQ

Are the slices seasoned?
The product is listed as frozen Tuber melanosporum; review the package label for the final ingredient statement and handling directions.

Does frozen truffle have the same texture as fresh?
No. Freezing can soften the texture, which is why frozen truffles are generally best for cooked dishes, sauces, fillings, and portioned garnish.
