Australian Black Truffle (Manjimup)

The amount of truffle your need really depends on the dish and personal preference of how decadent you want to go. Some think a subtle approach is best, others prefer to go all out. We've put together some guidelines below. Truffles are at their best consumed within 7-14 days so keep this in mind when planning how you'll use.

​The Sensible Truffle Lover

• 3-5g per person, per dish
• 30g for a generous 3 course truffle dinner for 2 and leftovers truffle for brekky

The Decadent Truffle Lover

• 5-10g per person, per dish
• 80g for a decadent 3 course truffle dinner for 2, leftovers for brekky and some truffle butter to keep you going

• 5-10g per person, per dish

The King and Queen of Truffle Entertainers
