Way to Preserve Truffle
Before we start, please note that:*Dirt plays zero role in conserving freshness and flavour of the truffles. Always clean your truffle before storing them properly in your refrigerator.
*Truffle aroma vaporise into surrounding air which leads to decreasing of aroma. Don’t expose for long period.
*Moisture is the worst enemy of truffle, always make sure you store in a cool dry container/plastic bag.
