8 of the Best Truffle Products to Serve This Autumn

Words by Bridie Newman

Truffle oil, truffle salt, truffle honey. Truffle shaved onto mac and cheese. Truffle fries! You need only visit our Food Halls and restaurants to know how much we adore truffles at Harrods – especially in the chillier months. After all, the prized delicacy pairs particularly well with classic comfort food.

But what exactly is truffle? Grown underground, it’s a fungus from the Tuberaceae family and takes many years to cultivate. Fragrant, earthy and umami-rich, its flavour is often compared to that of mushrooms but far more complex and intense. The taste also varies with the season – summer truffles, for example, have a more delicate, nutty and creamy flavour profile whereas winter truffles are richer and more robust with garlic notes.

Now that we've covered the basics, let's fill your pantry with the finest truffle-enriched condiments for gourmet cooking this autumn.

Artisan de la Truffe Whole Black Truffles

A pantry staple – especially during the season of hearty winter warmers – these whole black truffles bring refinement to the simplest of dishes. Shave over everything from mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs to pasta and risotto for what we call a ‘gourmet cheat’.

Where to Find Fresh Truffle at Harrods

Black truffles are available in the Fresh Market Hall. They’re visually indistinguishable from the summer truffle but have a more powerful aroma and earthy flavour, making them perfect for warming winter dishes. While you’re there, don’t miss the mushroom and truffle croissant on the bakery counter in the Roastery & Bake Hall.

You’ll also find truffle in our restaurants across the store: on rigatoni cacio e pepe at Pasta Evangelists, in various dim sum dishes at Chai Wu, in the sauce for the sharing Tomahawk steak at The Grill on Fifth, in a miniature omelette on toast for afternoon tea at The Georgian, to name a few.
