Gourmets have long prized black Perigord truffles (tuber melanosporum) for their gastronomic
value; however, availability and cost have limited their use. This truffle variety is now available
in a dry form as MasterFlavor™ truffle powder, which offers several key advantages versus fresh black
Perigord truffles or other truffle powders:
- Traditional Black Perigord Truffle Flavor - While a number of "truffle powders" have been marketed,
most have not been from tuber melanosporum, and those produced from tuber melanosporum have not retained
their characteristic flavor and intensity after drying. New proprietary technology now allows the drying
of tuber melanosporum without the loss of the product's complex flavor profile or its intensity.
- Availability - Unlike fresh black Perigord truffles which are typically available only from
December through March, MasterFlavor™ truffle powder is readily available year-round.
- Storage Stability - The high moisture content of fresh black Perigord truffles dictates that
they be consumed quickly to avoid spoilage. MasterFlavor™ truffle powder, on the other hand, is
less than 9% moisture, and stored properly has a shelf life of at least three years.
- Value - Because MasterFlavor™ truffle powder has a higher solids content and greater surface
area than fresh black Perigord truffles, the flavor impact of MasterFlavor™ truffle powder is significantly
stronger than that of fresh black Perigord truffles. Addition levels can be dramatically
reduced while maintaining comparable flavor.
- Organic - MasterFlavor™ truffle powder is certified 100% organic by Organic Certifiers.
- Kosher - MasterFlavor™ truffle powder is certified Kosher pareve.
MasterFlavor™ truffle powder is ideal for use in applications that would traditionally use fresh black
Perigord truffles, canned truffles, truffle oil or truffle butter. And, because Master Flavor™ truffle
powder is an extremely rich umami food, it can be incorporated into countless nontraditional savory and
sweet applications to enhance flavors, creating sumptuous flavor notes and unforgettable taste.
