Truffle Seasoning 60g

Black truffle seasoning, also known as truffle dust, is a finely blended gourmet powder. This versatile ingredient is perfect for elevating everyday dishes.

What Is Black Truffle Seasoning?

This fine, free-flowing seasoning blend combines black summer truffle, Tuber aestivum, with carob powder, garlic and salt. Also called truffle powder or truffle zest, it is designed to give food an easy, even dusting of earthy, musky and savoury truffle character.

Carob provides a finely milled, lightly toasted base that supports the truffle, while garlic adds a soft savoury note. The result is earthy, gently musky and full-flavoured rather than hot or spicy.

This is a seasoning blend, not pure ground truffle. Use it like a finishing spice, adding a little at a time until the flavour is just right.

How to Use Black Truffle Seasoning

Use black truffle seasoning as a finishing touch on warm food, where its aroma can come through most clearly.

• Season hot chips with a light dusting, then add finely grated Parmesan for easy truffle fries at home.
• Sprinkle over warm buttered popcorn for an indulgent film-night snack.
• Finish steak, roast chicken, burgers or lamb just before serving, letting the seasoning settle over the hot meat.
• Add a pinch to softly scrambled eggs, omelettes, poached eggs on toast or creamy mushroom risotto.
• Dust over buttered pasta, pizza, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese or roasted mushrooms for extra savoury depth.
• Stir a little into mayonnaise, softened butter or crème fraîche for an easy truffle dip, burger sauce or baked-potato topping.

Chef’s Tip

Start with a small pinch. This is a finely milled seasoning, so it disperses quickly, and a little goes a long way. Add it after cooking rather than frying it in the pan, so the truffle aroma stays clear.

Where Does It Come From?

Black truffle seasoning is part of the Monika’s Kitchen range, personally selected by Monika for its flavour, versatility and ease of use in home cooking.

The black truffles used in this seasoning are Jászsági nyári szarvasgomba, or Jászság summer truffles, from Hungary’s Jászság region. This regional speciality holds EU Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, recognising the connection between its origin, reputation and distinctive character.

Specialist producers and a team of truffle hunters led by István Bagi supply the truffles. His extensive knowledge of Hungary’s truffle-growing landscapes and seasonal conditions brings specialist expertise to their sourcing.

Truffles grow underground and are located by trained dogs working by scent. The hunting teams include rescue dogs trained by a specialist animal charity, giving these remarkable animals an important role in finding truffles beneath the forest floor.
