1ST STAR PRODUCT OF CHRISTMAS: THE TRUFFLE
If there is one product that turns a dish from "good" to "memorable", it is the black truffle of Teruel (Tuber melanosporum). Its intense, elegant, and profoundly gastronomic aroma adds complexity to simple recipes and festive dishes.
How to use it at Christmas
Starters: toasts with aged cheese, truffle shavings, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Main courses: sirloin steak, turkey, or hake baked with truffle shavings; Residual heat enhances the aroma without overcooking it.
Sauces and side dishes: a truffled mashed potato or a truffled béchamel for cannelloni.
Tip: store the truffle with eggs in an airtight container for 24–48 hours; the eggs will absorb its aroma and you'll have an effortlessly truffled omelet.
The altitude, climate, and the work of the truffle hunters make Teruel one of the world's leading truffle-producing regions. Opting for fresh truffles or truffle-infused products (sauces, oils, pâtés) guarantees authentic aroma in your Christmas menus.
2ND STAR PRODUCT OF CHRISTMAS: DUCK CONFIT
Duck and foie gras offer a rich, creamy texture and a deep flavor that pair perfectly with festive side dishes: apple, caramelized onion, red berries, or wine reductions.
Menu Ideas
Cold Starter: Foie gras mi-cuit with toasted bread and fig or onion confit.
Main Course: Seared duck breast with crispy skin, served with sweet potato purée and jus Truffled.
To share: rillettes or duck pâtés with pickles and sourdough bread, ideal for a gourmet platter.
Foie gras pairs well with wines that have a touch of sweetness (Muscatel or late harvest) or young Garnacha reds. Magret works very well with high-altitude Aragonese reds and red fruit sauces.
3RD STAR PRODUCT OF CHRISTMAS: CHRISTMAS GIFT BUNDLES
There is no more useful and delightful detail than a well-thought-out Christmas basket. At Degusta Teruel you can choose personalized gift baskets with artisanal cured meats, cheeses, local wines, traditional sweets, and of course, truffles or duck products.
How to choose the right basket
Define the recipient's profile: cheese lover, sweet tooth, home cook, truffle foodie…
Balance: combine ready-to-eat products (pâtés, cured meats, sweets) with ingredients for cooking (sauces, truffles, Olive oil).
Include a must-have: a touch of black truffle or duck pâté elevates any basket.
Personalize: add a congratulatory note and select the box or basket format that best suits your corporate or family gift.
