As far back as the 1500s, truffle honey was already the desired type of honey in all of Eastern Europe. In 1930, Giacomma Morra established his firm Tartufi Morra in Alba, Italy. What started as a move to bring global awareness to the white truffles of Alba, soon turned into a world-renowned company known for producing the best truffle. Today, this firm continues to manufacture various types of truffle products including the most coveted black truffle honey
Keep your honey in a cool location away from direct sunlight and make sure the container is tightly sealed. The ideal temperature for storage is from 13 to 21°C. Some manufacturers will set the expiry date of their jars at two years after the bottling date. However, honey can last decades or even centuries if stored properly. It may change color and become crystalized, but it will stay safe to eat. If your honey does crystallize, just place the open jar in warm water and stir until the crystals dissolve. Store in a cool dry place.
