Truffle Products
Shaved from whole Asian Black Truffles selected by Pebeyre, these
peelings are excellent in risotto, polenta, soups and compound butter.

Tuber Indicum is relatively new to the Western world of truffle
consumption. The truffles are foraged in China in the provinces of
Sichuan and Hunan. These too we purchase through Pebeyre in France.
Consequently we are confident that the quality is superior to other
Asian exports. The Asian Black Truffles are brushed and twice cooked.
Twice cooked truffles go through the first cooking process in bulk
containers, they are then separated from the extracted juice, jarred and
cooked again. The skin has a purple hue and the interior short white veins.
While all of our truffle oil offerings are "aromas", this product is
much more concentrated. Select this product when you would like to add a
robust black truffle flavor without as much oil. Product of France.
Perigord Whole Black Winter Truffles
There are many grades of Truffles, primarily "Extra", "1st Choice", and
"2nd Choice". We are offering only the best France has to offer, the
prized Perigord Black Truffle, Tuber Melanosporum. The Extra's are the
next best thing to fresh and comprise a mere 10% of the findings.
Extra's are the size of a ping pong ball, have a uniform round shape,
and are permitted only "very slight" defects. At this size the flavor is
more reliable than smaller truffles as the truffle has (seemingly) had
the time to mature. Also, the aroma is more intense as the larger
truffles offer more surface area. The Extra's are 1st cooked. Meaning
they arrive to you whole and in the 20% of juice rendered in the canning
process. Graded, selected and canned by the Pebeyre Family of France,
whose family has been selecting truffles since 1897.
Available in our White or Black Truffle with sunflower oils, this
stainless steel non-aerosol pump mister allows you to finish any dish

Misters come are pre-filled with 150 mL of oil. Refill packs include an

Although truffle oils are no substitute for whole truffles, they are
excellent for use in vinaigrettes, emulsions, and for finishing risotto,
fresh pastas or prepared vegetables. Our imported black (shown) and
white truffle oils are manufactured in France under Pebeyre's
supervision. If your primary use will be for salads, marinades, or
emulsions, then consider one made with olive oil as the truffle flavor
will be subtle and you will have the additional qualities of black
olives, green grass, and a mild pepperiness . If you are wanting a clean
truffle flavor then we recommend one comprised of sunflower oil. 250 mL
Bottles each.
