A small amount can even be used as a finishing touch on pasta dishes or risottos to enhance their savory notes.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the bottle in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to preserve the truffle aroma and prevent spoilage. It does not typically require refrigeration but keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat will maintain its quality for an extended period.
