How much black truffle should you allow per person?

Start with the recipe

Our truffled egg recipe uses 20 g for four people, or 5 g each. Our risotto uses 30 to 40 g for four, or 7.5 to 10 g each. These amounts apply to those recipes, rather than every possible dish.

As a broader reference, Plantin suggests 10 to 15 g per person in its cooking guide. The calculator distinguishes this reference from the two House recipes. Adjust to your dish and preferences.

Calculate the total for your meal

Multiply the number of guests by the recipe quantity. Our risotto for six therefore needs 45 to 60 g in total. Calculate two truffled courses separately and describe each when enquiring.

One 50 g truffle and several pieces totalling 50 g provide the same weight. Presentation may differ. Say whether you want even slices or will chop the truffle into the dish.

Budget using the confirmed batch price

For a price per kilogram, multiply by the weight in grams and divide by 1,000. Use the confirmed price for the proposed batch. The calculator sets no price and adds nothing to a basket.

Prepare the meal date, guest count, dish and preferred total budget. Proposed weight, price and collection arrangements will be specified before ordering.

Choose a recipe and arrange collection

Start with a recipe whose ingredients and method are familiar. Our egg and risotto recipes list quantities and steps. Read the storage guide when planning the meal.

The House selection depends on the season and available batches. Retail collection is by appointment in Drôme Provençale. Confirm availability before planning your visit.

A budget example for six people

Our risotto for six needs 45 to 60 g, costing €54 to €72 at the starting rate of €1,200/kg, excluding delivery. That is €9 to €12 per diner for truffle alone, without rice or other ingredients. The minimum order is €50. Confirm the offered batch price: a portion calculation is not a sales offer.
