Truffle Sauce perishability | Wine Spectator Forums

thom23Member

While poking around in my wine storage cabinet I came across a little jar of black truffles that I bought in Italy in 2007 and was amazed to see that they are still good! The date on the jar is 31/12/10! These babies have some serious shelf life!
I also found a jar of "Salsa Tartufata, Mushroom & Truffles Sauce", and this one has a date on it of 31/12/2009. That's not too long ago and it has been under temperature controlled conditions in my wine cabinet. I am torn between the urge to eat it and the fear of being poisoned! So...just wondering if anyone would have any knowledgeable input on such a substance and how critical that little date might be?

Is it sealed, with no signs of leakage? According to your assessment of storage conditions you should be ok but by no means assume anything!
