Fresh Italian Black Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum Vitt.)

With a delicate flavour and rich aroma, Black Summer Truffles can be paired with a wide range of dishes. Because they cope well with high temperatures, they can be fried in oil or butter to serve with pasta dishes such as tagliatelle or in a truffle risotto. Black Summer Truffles are the most common of the fresh truffles and available for much of the year.

Use For Tips

It is a highly versatile ingredient and can be used in antipasti, pasta and rice dishes, and meat dishes. These truffles can also be grated and combined with other ingredients to produce sauces and spreads. They can elevate the simplest dishes, like a classic fried egg, or be paired with more luxurious ingredients like fillet steak with porcini mushrooms and truffles.

How To Store

Store at a controlled temperature of 2–4°C, ideally in a ventilated refrigerator. To preserve your truffles' organoleptic properties, wrap them in a paper towel which should always be kept dry. A cotton cloth can be used as an alternative to a paper towel.

To reduce weight loss, it is recommended to store truffles inside an airtight container or covered with a bell jar, and always keep them in the refrigerator.
