How Much Truffle Do I Need

Fresh, whole truffles are best thinly shaved directly on top of a finished dish. Recommended serving is 5 grams per person.

How much truffle should you use?

There are 28 grams in an ounce of truffles, so at 3 grams, you’re getting about 9 servings. We typically would recommend 3 grams be on an appetizer sized portion. Main: 5 or 7 grams. We’d recommend that 5 grams is a ‘healthy’ portion on a main course, 7 grams being generous.

How long truffles will last?

According to Brad, white truffles will last for around five days; black will keep for over a week. “Use them soon,” says Brad. “They don’t age like wine!” In fact, they begin to lose their aroma as soon as you take them from the ground.
