Preparation
Prepare the Oysters
Gently open the oysters, taking care to keep their natural juice. Slightly detach the flesh from the shell to facilitate tasting.
Prepare the Platter
Place a generous layer of crushed ice on a large platter. Arrange the opened oysters on the ice to keep them perfectly fresh until serving.
Add the Quintessence
Place a small amount of Plantin black truffle Quintessence in the center of each oyster. Be careful not to add too much to maintain balance with the briny flavors.
Add the Black Truffle
If using fresh black truffle, slice it thinly with a truffle mandoline. Place one or two thin slices on each oyster.
Finalize the Presentation
Optionally, add a very light touch of fleur de sel or pepper. Serve immediately, well chilled.
Plantin Chef’s tip(s)
Add the Essence of black truffle only at the last moment. The oyster already has a strong briny identity: a small amount of Essence is enough to create a beautiful balance without masking its freshness.
