Fresh ProductStoring/Serving Tips:
Fresh Italian white truffles are best enjoyed immediately upon receipt. Given how valuable fresh truffles are, especially Italian white truffles, properly preserving them is worth the effort.
Store using a Fridge: A great way to store white truffles is in the fridge. Use kitchen paper towel or cotton cloth as an alternative to cover them. It is always advisable to change the paper and make sure it remains dry at least once a day since it absorbs the truffle's humidity.
Store using a Freezer: Now if you're looking to preserve your fresh white truffles from 5-10 months, get them freezing in the freezer. First and foremost, your truffles need to be without dirt, so begin by thorough washing and drying them. Once done, cover each truffle in metal foil, place them inside a ziplock bag, and then preserve in the freezer. Note that storing white truffles using this method will them last a bit longer; however, the aroma will continue to decline.
Store them in Rice: This method helps preserve white truffles from exposure to the air while imparting their flavor to the surrounding food. If stored on the fridge, it can also help them last a little longer. However, some people think by using this method, while producing tasty rice, it absorbs moisture and flavor from the truffles, and therefore, reducing its quality. Arborio and Carnarioli are the most common type of rice used because the infused flavor lends itself so well in preparing risotto.
