Which Is Better? How to Use Them: Frozen truffles are best partially thawed (in a bag in your fridge) just until they’re soft enough to slice, then thinly sliced/shaved while still partially frozen. The warmth of the hot food you’re finishing with them will quickly thaw them the rest of the way.

Hello,
April 30th, 2015 at 2:01 pmHow long will a frozen truffle last?
the idea would be to cut it into smaller pieces, keep them in the freezer, and use the pieces over 3-6 months.
Thank you,
Brett
Hi Brett,
Frozen truffles can last up to two years, depending on how they’re packaged in the freezer (the less air contact the better. We recommend freezing solid, then vacuum packing for best shelf life).

Thanks for your quick response Matthew.
May 1st, 2015 at 8:54 amMy last question-, would slicing the truffles into smaller pieces affect how long they will keep in the Freezer?
Thanks,
Brett
Hi Brett,
It might, generally the more exposed surface area the less time something lasts…but my guess is they’ll be fine for the period you’re talking about, and using smaller pieces would be much better than thawing and refreezing.
