Customer reviews of Plantin

Hello, we are sorry to hear of your disappointment. As we discussed by e-mail, it seems that the recommendations provided in the guide to using canned truffles have not been respected. Indeed, canned truffles are a product that requires very special attention, whether in terms of the proportion used in a dish or its cooking. A minimum of 10-15g of canned truffle per person is required, and a minimum of 10% for a preparation (butter, sauce, etc.). All this information is detailed in our guide, which is sent in each parcel containing appertized truffles. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. The Plantin team

Good morning, sir,

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback.
We are sorry that your experience was not satisfactory. Could you tell us a little more about how you ate your fresh truffles (in which dish, if they were cooked, for how many people)?

We attach great importance to customer satisfaction, which is why it's vital for us to understand your disappointment and take it into account with a view to continuous improvement.

Wishing you an excellent day.

Yours sincerely
The Plantin Team

Hello, can you please tell me how many people you used this jar for? I see that you bought a 15g jar and a 30g jar of extra brushed truffles. For information, we recommend 15g for a dish for 1 person maximum, as the heat treatment (appertization) will have annihilated the truffle's aromas, so it's all the more important to respect this weight. We regret that your experience with this product did not live up to your expectations. If you like black truffles, you're probably used to eating them fresh. However, this product is appertized, having undergone two heat treatments in order to preserve the truffles for several years. These truffles are therefore cooked, with organoleptic qualities quite different from those of fresh truffles. You'll also have noticed that their appearance is very different from that of fresh truffles: the flesh of appertized truffles is black, with no marbling. This appertization also affects the smell: when opened, there is generally little or no smell, which is normal. Similarly, we tend to consume truffle-derived products that are flavored (oils, salts, etc.); as such, they will be much stronger in taste than the raw truffle, which remains subtle and light on the palate. It's also important to point out that this is a product that needs to be worked on: the smell and taste of these canned truffles develop when they come into contact with heat, or when they are infused in a fatty substance (butter or cheese, for example), hence the need to add them to a hot dish at the last moment, just before serving, or to let them infuse in the fatty substance for 24 to 48 hours before eating. They should never be added at the beginning or in the middle of cooking, for example, as this will destroy all their flavor. I hope these explanations have given you the answers to your questions, and we remain at your disposal should you have any further requests or queries. I wish you an excellent day. Sincerely, La Maison Plantin
