HOW MUCH TRUFFLE DO I NEED?

​

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.
