Culinary gold: Black winter truffles at Kreutzers
Tuber Brumale is also known as the Muscat truffle. This 2-8 cm truffle is dark brown and has many wart-like bumps on its skin. The interior of the Brumale is milky black and crisscrossed with strong, white veins. This truffle is arguably the most intensely aromatic in its family and easily overpowers any other truffle variety. Because of this intense aroma, the Muscat truffle is particularly popular for making truffle jus.
Where expertise complements each other - our truffle partner in Bulgaria!
Northern Bulgaria boasts the ideal growing conditions for truffles: a perfect soil composition, free of chemicals and additives, ample sunshine and water, and frost all contribute to magnificent specimens bursting with flavor. We are incredibly fortunate to have found a local family here who have been passionately harvesting and selling top-quality truffles to us for three generations! These harvesters not only focus on the prized fungi but also ensure the trees remain healthy and the soil free of additives. Only in this way can the exceptional quality of the truffles be maintained! Bulgarian truffles are every bit as good as those from France or Italy and are available in our shop just 36 hours after harvesting.
Truffle Care - How do I handle my truffles correctly?
If you pay attention to a few simple points, you will definitely enjoy your truffles and be able to savor them to the fullest:
1. Cleaning is half the fun!
Just before eating your truffles, remove any dirt by gently cleaning them with a brush under running, cold water and drying them with a paper towel.
2. Store in a cool, dry place!
The best way to store truffles is to wrap them in a clean paper towel, vacuum-seal them, and keep them in the refrigerator (not the freezer!). This optimally preserves their aroma and prevents mold growth. Alternatively, you can simply wrap the truffles in a paper towel and store them in the refrigerator, but you should change the paper towel daily to prolong their shelf life.
3. Consume as fresh as possible!
Even with the best storage conditions, the aroma gradually diminishes!

PLEASE NOTE: Our truffles are freshly dug up, collected, and sent to us for each order on the weekend of the order. For this reason, orders placed one week will be delivered on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of the following week.
PLEASE NOTE: Truffles are a natural product and may have scratches and pressure marks. These are caused by the dogs when they find the truffles. All truffles vary in shape, size, and aroma – no two truffles are alike.
