How to Clean a Fresh Truffle
Careful soil removal and drying before serving, with merchant practice clearly attributed.
02Cleaning and first handling
For white truffle, the source describes gentle brushing and avoiding soaking. For black truffle, it describes a short rinse and a firmer brush or knife for stubborn soil. These steps report the source’s practice and depend on the specimen’s condition.
- choose the brush for the species and how firmly soil is attached, without unnecessary soaking
- after cleaning, dry the truffle and keep it clean until use
