Can you vacuum-pack a truffle?

Do you want to extend the shelf life of your black truffles ? Would you like to know whether it's better to store them in a bag or a box? Are you wondering how long you can keep a vacuum-sealed truffle?

Once vacuum-sealed, a truffle (regardless of variety) can be preserved up to 5 times longer (up to 6 months vacuum-sealed in the freezer). When packaged inside a bag, the truffle is protected from contact with air to prevent the growth of bacteria and the loss of its flavors. This vacuum preservation method allows you to preserve the freshness of your truffles, then serve them grated on the day of consumption (for example).
