What goes with Truffle?
This preparation uses fresh summer or Burgundy truffle: firm, warty tissue with a marbled interior and an aroma that may suggest nuts, damp woodland and gentle musk. Maturity and condition matter as much as appearance. The fresh tissue contributes a slight crunch when shaved thinly. Bottled flavoured oils and preserved pastes have a different intensity and texture and are not interchangeable here.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Truffle?
Egg yolk, potato and pasta provide quiet, moist settings in which this relatively gentle truffle can be noticed. Parmesan supplies salt and savour in a supporting quantity. More exploratory pairings need precise placement: a sliver of pickled walnut or a small acidic fruit centre should interrupt the richness briefly, then give way to fresh truffle on the next part of the bite.
