Notes
Truffle Conversion: 1 small truffle (about ¼ ounce) yields approximately 1 tablespoon of finely minced truffle.
Pre-Minced Substitute: Use 2 tablespoons of jarred, pre-minced truffle in place of fresh whole truffles.
Storage Tips: Truffle butter with fresh truffles will keep in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months.
Spreadable Texture: For a softer, more spreadable butter, add truffle oil or a drizzle of olive oil.
Salt Note: If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt and adjust to taste.
