Fresh Autumn Truffle - Tuber Uncinatum

Fresh Autumn Truffle for Sale — Tuber Uncinatum

The autumn black truffle sits in an interesting position in the truffle world. It is not as well-known as Black Périgord, and it does not carry the prestige of White Alba — but it has something both of those lack during their off-seasons: it is available from September through January, right when autumn cooking calls for exactly this kind of deep, earthy ingredient.

Tuber uncinatum is harvested across France, Italy, and Eastern Europe in the autumn and early winter months. TruffleCart sources it directly from European producers and ships with the same temperature-controlled DHL Express logistics used for every fresh truffle in the catalog.

What the Uncinatum Truffle Tastes Like and How to Use It

The aroma of Tuber uncinatum is richer and more complex than its close relative, the Summer truffle (Tuber aestivum). Where Summer truffle tends toward mild, nutty notes, Uncinatum brings a deeper hazelnut character with earthier, woodsier undertones that develop further after harvest.

Key characteristics:

• Season: September–January
• Appearance: black warty exterior; dark brown interior with fine white veining
• Aroma: earthy, hazelnut, deeper than Summer truffle but softer than Melanosporum
• Best use: raw shaved over risotto, pasta, and eggs; also excellent infused into butter or cream
• Storage: paper towel, airtight glass container, refrigerator at 2–4°C; use within 5–7 days

This is a truffle that works both raw and lightly cooked. The aroma is forgiving enough for less experienced cooks and complex enough to satisfy professionals who want seasonal variety.
