Professional Kitchen Applications

Real Truffle Logs are designed for professional kitchens that need genuine truffle flavour inside sauces, fats, fillings, bases and mise-en-place — not only as a finishing garnish.

01

Truffle Butter and Compound Fats

Real Truffle Logs are particularly well suited to truffle butter, compound fats and finishing butters. Grate or finely dice the required amount into softened butter, rendered fat or warm emulsions. The prepared butter can then be used across multiple dishes with consistent truffle distribution.

Kitchen advantage

Truffle butter can be prepared with control and consistency, allowing chefs to reserve fresh truffle for finishing when desired.

Ideal uses
  • Steak and grilled meats
  • Poultry
  • Polenta
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Pasta emulsions
  • Scrambled eggs
  • Pommes purée
  • Sauces finished with butter
02

Sauces, Jus and Reductions

Real Truffle Logs can be incorporated into warm sauces, jus, cream bases and reductions where the goal is depth rather than visual garnish. Add finely grated truffle gently into warm preparations and avoid aggressive heat.

Kitchen advantage

The truffle can be distributed evenly through the sauce, giving each portion a more consistent base note of real truffle.

Ideal uses
  • Madeira sauce
  • Beef jus
  • Mushroom jus
  • Red wine reductions
  • Cream sauces
  • Velouté
  • Beurre blanc variations
  • Refined broths
  • Sauce bases for pasta and gnocchi
03

Pasta, Risotto and Gnocchi

Real Truffle Logs are useful in the internal structure of pasta and rice dishes. They can be folded into butter emulsions, cream sauces, fillings, gnocchi bases, arancini, croquettes or truffled grain preparations.

Kitchen advantage

Fresh truffle can still be shaved over the finished dish in season, while the log carries real truffle flavour through the base preparation.

Ideal uses
  • Truffled risotto base
  • Truffle butter for pasta
  • Gnocchi alla Romana
  • Potato gnocchi
  • Filled pasta
  • Ravioli or agnolotti fillings
  • Arancini
  • Croquettes
  • Polenta
04

Creams, Custards and Savoury Bases

Truffle works beautifully in dairy-based preparations, where fat carries aroma and gives the ingredient room to unfold. Real Truffle Logs can be used in cream, savoury custards, cheese sauces, truffled spreads, parfaits, mousses and refined bases.

Kitchen advantage

The log allows chefs to build real truffle into a preparation with control, rather than relying on truffle oil or synthetic aroma.

Ideal uses
  • Truffle cream
  • Savoury custard
  • Truffled cheese sauce
  • Truffle cream soup
  • Mushroom and truffle velouté
  • Truffled parfait
  • Savoury mousse
  • Truffle-infused cream cheese
  • Truffled brunch applications
05

Fillings, Farces and Internal Components

Some of the most useful applications for Real Truffle Logs are inside a dish. Truffle can be worked into fillings, farces and internal components where fresh shavings would be impractical or lost.

Kitchen advantage

The truffle becomes part of the dish’s structure, delivering savoury depth from within.

Ideal uses
  • Pasta fillings
  • Poultry farce
  • Mushroom farce
  • Terrines
  • Ballotines
  • Croquettes
  • Savoury pastries
  • Truffled bechamel
  • Truffle and cheese fillings
06

Stocks, Broths and Base Preparations

Real Truffle Logs can be used carefully in low-temperature infusions for stocks, broths and base preparations. The aim is not to boil the truffle aggressively, but to introduce its character into a supporting element.

Kitchen advantage

Chefs can create truffle foundations that support multiple dishes across a menu.

Ideal uses
  • Poultry stock
  • Game bird stock
  • Mushroom stock
  • Beef and mushroom foundations
  • Vegetable broths
  • Consommé bases
  • Truffle-infused reductions
07

Finishing and Microplaning

Although the Real Truffle Log is primarily designed for incorporated applications, it can also be microplaned directly from frozen where a fine truffle finish is useful. This is different from the theatre of fresh truffle shaved at the table or pass — the effect is more controlled, fine and functional.

Kitchen advantage

Direct-from-frozen use allows precise application and fast service execution.

Ideal uses
  • Eggs
  • Risotto
  • Pasta
  • Cheese dishes
  • Soups
  • Savoury custards
  • Warm canapés
  • Refined brunch dishes
