If you still have any summer truffles left, I would suggest trying our recipe for porterhouse steak with summer truffles. This is one of the best summer truffle recipes I've ever had. You can even boost the truffle flavor with black truffle oil or your truffle salt. http://blog.mirepoixusa.com/2011/07/04/recipe-grilled-porterhouse-steak-with-summer-truffles-and-cognac-shallot-reduction/ Regarding the truffle salt, I honestly don't know how it is made. I'd be surprised if summer truffles alone could create a strong truffle flavor that lasts. My experience with truffle salt is that after about 4 months it goes rancid. For this reason our company has stopped carrying truffle salt, at least until we find an acceptable product. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for your comment and interest in our blog.

I had just ordered French Fresh Summer Truffles from another purveyor, and was confused. Here is the confusion... I had ordered Black Summer Truffle Salt, 10%. The taste is not intense, but the smell IS. I was hoping in ordering Fresh Black Summer Truffles -France, would be an experience. Not so... it is weak, and does NOT have the same aroma... at all. Thanks to your website, I have an explanation, and can accept my gastronomic loss a little easier. I will take care of them, and try to enjoy the VERY mild flavor. Education does come at a price, and this one has to be at a loss, but I look forward to the stronger flavored Truffles in the future. One question, How is the Summer Black Truffle preserved in salt? Is it freeze dried and made into its ground-up state, and mixed with the salt? Thanks very much. Michael Daniels waitingpeace@hotmail.com 325-938-7776 Thanks for your resources.

I had just ordered French Fresh Summer Truffles
from another purveyor, and was confused.

Here is the confusion…

I had ordered Black Summer Truffle Salt, 10%.

The taste is not intense, but the smell IS.

I was hoping in ordering Fresh Black Summer
Truffles -France, would be an experience.

Not so… it is weak, and does NOT have the
same aroma… at all.

Thanks to your website, I have an explanation,

and can accept my gastronomic loss a little
easier.

I will take care of them, and try to enjoy the
VERY mild flavor.

Education does come at a price, and this one
has to be at a loss, but I look forward to the
stronger flavored Truffles in the future.

One question,

How is the Summer Black Truffle preserved in
salt? Is it freeze dried and made into its
ground-up state, and mixed with the salt?

Thanks very much.
