Storage
- If you are not planning to consume these within one week, place them in your freezer immediately upon receiving them.
- When thawing, it’s recommended to thaw them slowly in the refrigerator, rather than at room temperature, as quick thawing can lead to condensation and potentially affect their texture.
- Once thawed, truffles should be stored in a cool, dark place, ideally in the refrigerator.
- Store them in a tightly sealed, airtight container to prevent moisture loss and absorption of odors from other foods.
- Consume within 5 to 7 days of thawing.
