All about Burgundy Truffles: Fresh truffles to buy

Have you heard about the different types of truffles, what they are like, and their taste? Today we want to talk to you about Burgundy truffles, one of the most exquisite types of tuber uncinatum.

What are Burgundy Truffles?

Burgundy truffles are the pearls of the fall season. As the seasons change from summer to fall, Burgundy truffles ripen along the roots of trees such as oak, poplar, chestnut, and hazel.

They are scientifically known as ´Tuber Uncinatum´, they received this name in France, and it is where they were discovered for the first time. Today, Burgundy truffles are growing in France, Italy, and Croatia and are harvested in these countries from September through November.

How do you identify burgundy truffles?

You can identify them by their appearance, smell, and taste. The Burgundy truffle has dark rough skin with large, diamond-shaped points, and light coffee-colored flesh veined with white. Burgundy truffles have a delicate, hazelnut-like aroma; they are not robustly flavored like the black winter truffle. These truffles also differ in their aromas and flavors. Burgundy truffles are usually more intense than their black summer truffle cousins. Their aromas are mild and earthy with roasted hazelnut notes.

Nutritional Value

Burgundy truffles are known to be a good source of vitamin C to boost the immune system. They are also good sources of phosphorus and calcium to strengthen bones and teeth. Another added benefit is that these truffles are known to contain numerous antioxidants to protect cells against free radical damage which can be beneficial to your health. The truffles also provide fiber to regulate the digestive tract and contain lower amounts of manganese, magnesium, and iron.

Storing/Serving Tips: 

Once a fresh truffle is out of the ground, it doesn’t keep long. To best preserve your truffle, wrap it in a paper towel, put it in an airtight plastic container, and set it in the refrigerator. Do not clean the truffle until you are ready to use it. 

With a lighter flavor than other truffles, the Burgundy truffle is best enjoyed fresh and grated or shaved over pasta, eggs, mashed potatoes, risotto, and other rice dishes. Finish a butter sauce with a few shavings before spooning it over a seared steak or duck breast. The heat from the cooked food is enough to release the mild truffle flavor.

Grilled Steak with Fried Tomatoes and Green Beans :

This dish is a nice mix of juicy meat and grilled vegetables, not only delicious but also easy to prepare. For this dish, we recommend our: Grass-fed beef Family Fest.Celebrate this day with selections of 100% grass-fed beef from New Zealand. It will certainly be the best to save some money. Includes 1 outside skirt steak, two porterhouse steaks, and two cowboy ribeye steaks, which are extra thick and extra juicy.Without a doubt, your barbeque will be deliciously special. this collection is 100% guaranteed to please everyone around your table.

Soy- Pork steak With Herbs and Jalapeños:

Thin- pork steak only takes a few minutes on the grill, and this recipe offers a nice mix of flavors with soy sauce and brown sugar, mint, cilantro, and jalapeños to give it a special touch. Of course, we recommend that you buy our: Secreto Iberico- Pork steak.This highly grained piece stands out for its wonderful flavor and texture. Secreto could be called a pork skirt steak due to its similar properties to beef skirt steak. Secreto is sold by the piece, and each piece weighs approximately 1.5 Lb. Sizzle this thin cut on the grill and the fat will immediately start to melt away, bathing the pork in acorn-flavored juiciness. 

Ibérico de Bellota pork is famed for its beautiful marbling and no other cut displays this more deliciously than the ‘Secreto’. While it comes from the shoulder area, it has a lot of similarities to a tender skirt steak. Indigenous black Ibérico pigs wander the ‘Dehesa’ forests of southwest Spain munching on herbs, grasses, and most importantly, acorns. Not only are they the happiest pigs on earth, but this diet adds wonderful flavor to the pork. And all that exercise fosters the marbling that makes Ibérico so special. 

The acorn and herb-flavored pork are high in mono-unsaturated fats that melt at low temperatures and are more healthy than the fat from normal pork. The ‘secreto’ has so much marbling it has a bit of a bacon-like flavor, but much more complex because of the grasses, herbs, and acorns on which the animals grazed. The ‘secreto’ cut is a small, thin cut that is hard to locate on the pigs, thus the name. It should be grilled on medium-high heat. Serve with a glass of good red wine and crusty bread to mop up the juices.

First of all, you need to know What smoked salmon is?

Smoked salmon is a product that is achieved by exposing the salmon to smoke, under special conditions, which allows it to be stored longer and has a different flavor. It comes in the form of large filets.

In House of Caviar we offer different types of Smoked Salmon, but today we want to talk about two types that are our favorites because the flavor and these finest qualities are ideal for pairing and enjoying the best time.

The superior quality of our Scotch reserve Smoked Salmon is ensured by the care in which only the very finest fresh Atlantic Salmon is selected. This luxury smoked salmon is ready to eat.

Smoked Salmon is delicious on its own. There is no need to mask the taste with other bold flavors, and anything that disguises it should be avoided. That being said, many accompaniments can be served alongside it, from cream cheese to capers, which will depend on whether it’s being served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

now know our favorite 5 ways to serve smoked salmon, and the best flavors to pair it with. 

1. For breakfast or lunch, we recommended a chewy bagel smothered with cream cheese is the classic base layer for smoked salmon. A few twists of black pepper, and perhaps some capers, and you’re in business. 

2.For a healthier brunch alternative, try the millennial staple of smashed avocado with a squeeze of lemon, served on seeded rye bread, beneath generous layers of smoked salmon. Not only is this meal highly ‘Instagram-able’, but it’s packed with healthy fats and protein too. 

3.For an elegant and effortless starter, let the salmon speak for itself. Try folding some thin slices of smoked salmon onto each of your guests’ plates, and serve simply with some seeded crackers or toasts with good quality butter. 

4.For your guests serve your smoked salmon with blinis, a little dollop of crème Fraiche, a pinch of chopped shallots and two or three capers are all it takes to turn a smoked salmon blini into a mouth-watering canapé. 

5.Wine is the best pairing drink to eat smoked salmon. You should try Chardonnay, Chenin blanc, or riesling. If you know more about the best wine pairing ideas, go to the next link and discover them. Click here!

The best Caviar to buy in House of Caviar

The best Caviar to buy in House of Caviar

Caviar is a one- of -a- kind food you should try at least once in your life. It’s worldwide known as a luxurious delicacy and there are plenty of myths about it. However, having Caviar does not mean you’ll have to empty all your pockets to afford it.It can indeed be expensive, but when exploring the options you’ll know there’s one for you. That’s why we’ve made a selection of the best Caviar to buy in House of Caviar and help you make your pick. 

First, let’s remember a few of Caviar’s basics. Caviar is eggs or roe collected from the sturgeon family traditionally  from the Caspian and Black Seas. Although all- female fish lay eggs, only sturgeon eggs are considered Caviar. Some other fish eggs like salmon, trout, and flying fish are also considered “roe”. These ones have become a very popular and affordable alternative to getting Caviar.

If you haven’t ever tried Caviar and you’re in the search for the perfect one to start, you may be wondering why is it so special? There are many reasons to explain why Caviar is so worth it, but these are three you should know about: 


  • Caviar is luxurious and prestigious: Caviar is a matter of history. Its reputation comes from hundreds of years ago in the ancient empires. Back then, high-end caviar was already scarce and it was reserved for members of the ruling family of the world’s largest kingdoms and empires. 


  • Caviar tastes like nothing else: it’s  important to remember there are many varieties of caviar and each one has different flavors. However and no matter which type they try, people describe that they feel the sea in their mouth after tasting caviar. Plus, a touch of saltiness and a sweet, nutty sense of fish. 

 

  • Caviar is a healthy bomb: Caviar isn’t just having something unique and tasty, it also contains a wealth of vitamins and minerals. Caviar is rich in vitamins A, B12, C, and D. It also has a high content of magnesium, iron, and calcium and healthy fatty acids like omega-3 are also part of the package. 

Usually, cooking tends to remove a large part of the nutrient content of food but since Caviar is eaten raw, you’ll be able to absorb everything it has to offer.

There are 27 species of sturgeon, which means you have many types of Caviar to choose from. You’ll find it available in many colors, textures, tastes and ways of production, which can make it confusing. But don’t worry! You don’t have to try all of them. 

The following list is a selection of the best Caviar to try in House of Caviar’s online store. Caviar is such a remarkable product that anyone you choose will be perfect to start with, but there are a few that you’d like to keep in your mind. These  are: Ossetra, Beluga Hybrid, Kaluga, Hackleback Caviar and Salmon. Now, let’s get to meet each one of them.

Ossetra Caviar 

This is definitely the most popular type of Caviar among all species. It is often described as  soft and loose, and the taste it leaves in the mouth may be similar to the taste of walnuts. Ossetra Caviar is said to have the most incredible variety in flavor, size, and color. It ranges from golden to brown and you can serve it with pasta, poultry, and seafood. Pairing Ossetra won’t be a problem because it goes well with any type of recipe. 

Want to try Ossetra Caviar? We recommend you start with Imperial Ossetra Caviar and if you want to know more, check all the products available by clicking here. 

This one is a top of the line caviar. It is meticulously selected and graded for epicureans  to verify it is of the highest quality. 

Beluga Hybrid 

This is the rarest and most expensive type of Caviar. Beluga Caviar stands out for its large light-gray pea-sized pearls with a buttery, creamy, nutty flavor and unique full-flavored after taste. However, due to the uncontrolled exploitation of these types of fish the Beluga species is at serious risk. This is why Beluga Hybrid exists, a sustainable option for enjoying this type of Caviar and  you can find it in House of Caviar. 

Large pearlescent gray eggs and full bodied and rich flavor with a very creamy texture and long finish. 

Kaluga Caviar 

The Kaluga is considered to be the world’s largest freshwater sturgeon. In appearance, the medium to large Kaluga eggs have a glossy light to deep brown or golden hue. The texture of the roe is firm and smooth with an earthy, buttery flavor and a mildly salty overtone. Kaluga Caviar is less expensive than the previous ones but still has the magical effect of the imported types of Caviar. Give it a try! 

Our Kaluga caviar is very similar to the Beluga in size of egg, color and taste. It has large-sized eggs, a light brown/golden color, and creamy/buttery flavor.

Hackleback Caviar

Hackleback is the world’s smallest spice of sturgeon. They have a gray, almost black, color and a medium sized pearl. Its flavor is described as unique with an intense nutty, buttery taste, similar to the Osetra and Sevruga caviar from the Caspian Sea. 

Our Hackleback caviar has a nutty, sweet, and buttery flavor worth trying. 

Salmon Roe 

Salmon Roe is a reddish-orange semi transparent egg found in the bellies of female salmon. It’s also known as red Caviar and a good quality salmon roe is recognized for its shiny appearance, firm texture and great  content of vitamins and proteins. Red Caviar and regular Caviar are both exquisit. But unlike regular Caviar, salmon roe is the most affordable and accessible type for everyone. 

Our Alaskan Salmon Roe Caviar is from the most prized Pacific “Chum” Salmon, also referred to as Keta salmon.

A Beginner’s Guide to Black Truffles

A Beginner’s Guide to Black Truffles

Black Truffle? What is that? If you’re thinking about chocolate, that’s the wrong one. Black Truffles are a symbiotic fungi that grow on the roots of trees in Europe, they’re the rarest form of truffle and some of the most exquisite culinary ingredients in the world. 

In ancient times, Truffles were considered a delicacy and a literal gift from the gods. The Greeks believed that truffles first came about when lightning struck a tree and created these delicious ingredients in its roots. Black Truffles can be a little bit high in price and  difficult to locate but they are totally worth it. Truffles have always had the label of luxury.

Truffles do grow in nature, but the conditions have to be very specific. They can only be found growing on the roots of certain types of trees, including hazel, oak, beech, and poplar trees, and they require a very particular type of climate in order to thrive. For this reason, it’s more likely to find truffles that have been grown by farmers and large-scale companies devoted to producing this ingredient. 

So, how to buy Black Truffles if they’re such an exquisite product? You definitely don’t want to spend the money on a truffle that isn’t good enough quality. When buying Black Truffles remember these simple tips: 

  • A high quality truffle should be pretty heavy for its size.
  • If you notice any holes or pits in the truffle, reconsider getting it. 
  • A Black Truffle should smell earthy and a little bit like garlic. If the garlic smell is too strong, the truffle might not be at  its best. 
  • If possible, ask for the truffle to be scratched. 

Black Truffles are commonly used sliced thinly or grating them and mixing them into food. Aside from this use, there are a few other ways to include the taste of truffles in cooking, for example: Truffle oil, Truffle butter and Truffle cheese. 

At this point you may be wondering how to serve Black Truffles. House Of Caviar wants you to not miss the chance of tasting this amazing delicacy, that’s why we’re sharing three recipe ideas to try and enjoy. 

Pasta with fresh Black Truffles

Ingredients

500 g linguine

100 g Parmesan cheese

150 g butter

60 g fresh Black Truffle

Pepper

Salt

Grate cheese. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large sauté pan. Reserve some of the pasta water before straining. Add cooked pasta to the sauté pan and toss to coat with butter. Add grated cheese and some pasta water to loosen mixture to desired consistency and mix to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Shave BlackTruffle over each bowl at the table and enjoy!

Truffle Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

2 slices country loaf or any other bread

1/3 cup grated Gruyere cheese

1/3 cup white cheddar 

1 Black Truffle or 1 teaspoon Truffle oil

2 Tbsp. butter

sea salt

Sprinkle half the grated cheese over 1 piece of bread, use a mandoline or truffle peeler to shave some fresh Black Truffle over it, then top with remaining cheese. Sprinkle it with a little salt, and place the second piece of bread on top. Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, and spread one tablespoon of butter on the outside of 1 piece of the bread. Place the sandwich, buttered-bread side down, in the pan and cook until golden brown. Spread the second piece of bread with the remaining tablespoon of butter before flipping the sandwich over. Cook on the second side until the bread is crispy and browned and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Black Truffle & Cheese Grits

Ingredients 

Tbsp. vinegar

2 eggs

2 grits 

1 Tbsp. crème fraiche

1 Tbsp. Black Truffles

2 oz. asiago cheese 

Salt 

Chives

Bring a pot with about 1.5 inches of water in it to a boil. Add the vinegar and turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into individual ramekins, then lower the ramekin straight into the water, tipping it underwater, so the egg gently slides out onto the bottom of the pot. As soon as you see the outside of the eggs turn white, turn the heat off, and let the eggs sit in the hot water until they are the desired doneness. You can test for this by prodding it with a blunt object. When they are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel lined plate. Cook 2 servings of grits in lightly salted water according to the package directions. When the grits are thick and almost done, add the crème fraiche, Black Truffles and cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Taste it, then add salt and pepper as needed. Plate by putting down a layer of grits, topping with a poached egg, sprinkling a little salt and pepper on top along with some chives, and then shave some more black truffles on top.
