how to clean and store truffles
Do not remove the dirt from the truffles until you are ready to use them. Truffles store in the refrigerator for a few days. Wrap them in a paper-bag or paper towel and place the bag with some rice in a glass jar. Close tightly. Change the wrapping on the truffles every day as you would cheese.
To clean truffles, soak them in warm water (about 30 minutes) and then rub the dirt off with your hands. Change the water and use a brush to remove all of the dirt from the truffle. Continue to change the water as you would for rice. Once the water is clean, dry the truffle well with a towel. Truffles can be sliced and soaked in wine or brandy to prolong their life. Truffles can be preserved by vacuum sealing them and then freezing them.
