From the Hunt to the Presentation Case: Brushing, Grading, Sorting

The topic guide : Buying and choosing
Brush, sort and grade
Brushing removes traces of soil; sorting sets aside unsuitable specimens; grading tells you the weight of an individual truffle. These operations answer different questions. For your meal, total weight and intended use matter alongside the truffle’s shape.
Size and total weight are different details
Size describes individual pieces; total weight describes the ordered amount. Shape can matter for regular slices. For a chopped preparation, several smaller pieces may meet the same weight requirement. Explain your recipe rather than assuming a larger truffle is automatically better.
Keep the batch information
Keep the description, agreed weight and storage instructions. They connect your purchase to the offered selection and help with precise questions after receipt. Page photographs illustrate the topic; confirm availability and batch characteristics with the House for a specific enquiry.
Our editorial approach
La Truffe française is responsible for these guides. Information about our offer comes from the House; technical resources cited in each article are identified separately.
