How should fresh truffles be handled and served?Updated a month ago

Fresh truffles are best when served at room temperature, so we recommend removing them from the refrigerator about two hours before serving. In particular, white truffles should never be heated, but instead simply shaved with a truffle shaver, mandolin, or microplane upon serving. Prolonged heat will suffocate white truffles’ flavor, so it is important to shave right before consuming. Black truffles, on the other hand, are sturdy enough to have their flavor elegantly amplified with gentle preparation. Truffles bind to fat, so for the best truffle experience, pair with eggs, cheese, cream, or whatever fatty accompaniment best suits the mood
