Jarred

Jarred truffle is cooked or pasteurised pieces packed in liquid—often brine, oil, or cooking juices—for pantry or fridge life beyond fresh season. Quality spans honest Italian and French jars with real species content to anonymous black bits that barely smell. Drain or use the packing liquid thoughtfully; it can be salty. Good jars smell of truffle when opened; bad jars smell only of salt and tin. Use in sauces, stuffings, and scrambled eggs when fresh is unavailable, and adjust salt down. Once open, keep cold and finish within days.
