Practical tips
- For service, the risotto can be about two-thirds pre-cooked and finished à la minute.
- Shave the truffle only on the plate: heat and cooking reduce the aroma.
- A spoonful of truffle butter in the mantecatura rounds out the flavor.
- Store fresh truffle refrigerated, wrapped in kitchen paper.
