Funghi

Paper-Thin Slice

Paper-thin slice is the ideal thickness for raw truffle service: thin enough to melt aroma into warm food, thick enough to show vein pattern and give a faint silk on the tongue. Too thick and the slice eats like cold fungus; too shredded and it disappears without presence. Use a sharp shaver or mandoline and a firm, cold truffle. Good slices are uniform and translucent; torn crumbs signal a dull blade or soft fruit. This is technique language as much as a product SKU—order whole fruit and cut this way.
