Truffles is a subcategory of luxury gourmet specialities, represented by the brands Arotz, Espora Gourmet, La Cuna and Masía El Altet. The range includes fresh processed truffle (whole, slices, carpaccio) as well as ready-made truffle products - olive oil, balsamic cream, sauce, mushroom pate with truffle and risotto with mushrooms and truffles. Together with France and Italy, Spain is one of the main European producers of black truffle, particularly in the regions of Aragon and Castile.

How to find your way around this category

Fresh processed truffle (whole, slices, carpaccio) is the most intense way to use truffle - it suits seasoning pasta, risotto or eggs just before serving. Ready-made products (oil, sauce, pate, balsamic cream) are a more practical and longer-lasting choice for everyday cooking, although with a gentler intensity of flavour than fresh truffle.

With truffle oil, a few drops on the finished dish are enough; pates and creams suit bread or serve as part of a starter.

Black or white truffle?

The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) is more aromatic after cooking and tolerates heat better, which is why it is often used in sauces, pates and risotto. The white truffle has a more intense, more volatile aroma and is traditionally grated raw directly over the finished dish - which is why you will most often encounter it in the form of a flavoured oil that captures its aroma and carries it into the food.

Store truffle products in a cool place away from direct light - the aroma of truffle is delicate and fades quickly.
