The black truffle has a summer variation, which is mild and delicately-flavored. Available from May through August, these mushrooms provide a great way to add a truffle flavor to summer and spring dishes at a more budget-friendly cost compared to the winter or fall types. In terms of shape and appearance, it looks the same as the other varieties, but is less aromatic. To enhance the flavor, thinly slice and warm with truffle butter or paste. Furthermore, this summer truffle is a lovely addition to give dishes a fresh truffle touch.Cook with short cooking times and avoid high heat. Store in the refrigerator with a damp paper towel.To quickly clean the truffle, rinse it in cold water and then, under running water, use a soft brush (or an old toothbrush) to remove any earth residues. Once the truffle is clean, it can be used in a variety of ways. For slicing raw, the truffle makes for a delicious addition to hot dishes that will enhance its flavour. As an alternative, grating the truffle can create an excellent oil-based sauce. To create this sauce, it is recommended to use garlic and extra virgin olive oil, to which the minced truffle is seasoned with salt and a pinch of pepper.A-grade fresh black summer truffles Tuber Aestivum vitt., include truffles with regular shape, weight between 15g and 200 grams /above 3cm in diameter/, can have broken, cut and scratch truffles maximum 30%Other names: Tuber Aestivum vitt, Scorzone, Truffle of Saint-Jean, Black Summer TruffleSeason: May to SeptemberStorage: refrigerator at 35°FShelf life at optimal storage: 10-14 days..

Areas where truffles are likely to be found are known as 'terre brûlée' (burnt ground). Although predominantly found in France, the Black Summer Truffle is abundant across Europe.Truffles should be stored in a cool, dry place to preserve their best taste. Refrigeration is ideal, but if using unbleached paper towels to protect them from moisture, we recommend changing the wrappings daily.

This is a difficult endeavor as truffles grown in the wild tend to have a superior quality and aroma compared to those grown on farms. Truffles form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of certain host trees, providing the tree with minerals from the soil and receiving the necessary nutrients from the tree. This relationship sees the fungus grow around and partially into the host roots, eventually encasing them.Cooking With Truffles: Discover the Delightful Taste of Truffles in Your KitchenCooking black truffles unleashes their exceptional flavor and aroma.
