Truffes Noires Fraîches Entières Extra are fresh whole black truffles of the species Tuber melanosporum, offered by the French house Maison Henras in Montauban. This selection is of French origin, and the Extra designation refers to regularly shaped, rounded truffles weighing more than 20 grams each, suitable for cutting into uniform slices.
The product contains 100% black truffle, with no added ingredients. At the Henras workshop, each truffle is individually sorted, washed, brushed, and inspected by hand using canifage. A small surface cut allows the interior to be assessed: the flesh should be dark, marbled with white veins.
They are characterized by a complex aroma with notes of forest floor, musk, humus, and roasted hazelnut. They pair well with eggs, potatoes, pasta, and rice. They can be enjoyed raw, cut into thin shavings, or added to warm dishes toward the end of cooking, as their aromas are sensitive to high temperatures.
