We highly recommend consuming the truffles as soon as they are received for the best experience. Just like any other fresh produce, Fresh Truffles have a minimal shelf life (3-5 days); therefore, the quality and freshness, and their unique aroma smell decline daily. Truffles should be kept inside a paper towel (not plastic bags) in the fridge and separated from one another. You may also place truffles in a container filled with eggs as the truffles' aroma is absorbed by the surrounding eggs!
