Fake Truffle

In the world of modern gastronomy, innovation arises from the combination of technique and creativity. Our “Fake Truffle” recipe is a prime example: a surprising creation where we transform the deep, earthy flavor of morels into a gelled truffle, with a perfect texture for grating or incorporating into hot dishes.

This creation has been developed using two exceptional ingredients: Salsus morel stock, belonging to the new range of concentrated stocks from Valrhona Selection, and our Gellan Gum, a vegetable gelling agent that allows for firm, shiny and stable structures even after cooking.

Intense flavor in a gelled form

The result is a bite that encapsulates the essence of the truffle in a precise and versatile form. Thanks to its heat resistance, this faux truffle can be incorporated into dishes that require heat—from pasta and risotto to creams and sauces—without altering its structure. Its adaptable format allows it to be molded according to the chef’s creativity: into small spheres, cylinders, or even blocks ready to be grated over a finished dish, evoking the classic gesture of using fresh truffles.
