Gourmet Food Store, Gourmetfoodstore.com, Keeps Costumers Up To Date Onfresh Truffles

Sept. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- The fall and winter seasons mark the highpoint of the truffle season in France and Italy, when luxurious fresh truffles start appearing in the market. Fresh truffles are highly perishable, and should be used within a few days of harvest, which is why it’s so important to have high quality and reliable vendor. Gourmet Food Store has been importing fresh truffles from France and Italy for over a decade, and they ensure that their customers always get the best and freshest product in the market. As soon as the fresh truffles are available, Gourmet Food Store sends out an email to their customers informing them of availability and shipping dates, making the ordering of fresh truffles easy and thoroughly efficient, so not a minute of freshness is wasted. During the high season, fresh truffles are flown into Gourmet Food Store’s warehouse at least once a week.

Jon Knigin, owner of Gourmet Food Store, advises customers to use their fresh truffles within two days of receipt, as they tend to lose their intensity quickly. “I like to store mine in a brown paper bag filled with rice”, says Mr. Knigin, “the rice absorbs the moisture but also gets impregnated with the aroma and flavor, and so you get a wonderful truffle-infused-rice to use later.”.

To sign up for the fresh truffle notice, customers can go to www.gourmetfoodstore.com/gourmetclub and fill out a short form. They will automatically receive an email as soon as fresh truffles are in-store and ready to ship, along with pricing and shipping details.  Plus, all new customers get 10% off their first order.
