Black Summer Truffle (Tuber Aestivum Vitt.)

Aroma: Black Summer Truffles have an immense amount of flavour for their price. Their delicate aroma, have hints of earthiness, hazelnuts, chocolate, and vanilla. The flavour develops quickly as the season progresses and by early August, when fully mature, they reach a quite pungent flavour and aroma. However, this truffle fetches limited prices on the market because, despite its good size, it is often sold unripe, when it does not yet give off its typical, delicate fungus odour.Season and Habitat: The picking season goes from May to August and their distribution on the territory is more wide spread compared to other truffles. The reason behind their easy availability is explained by the fact that they grow without any specific environmental requirements. Summer truffles are usually found in limestone terrains, in Oakwood and in pinewoods.Market Availability: From 15 May to 31 AugustStorage: For optimal storage of your fresh Truffles, please: Do not remove the soil from the truffles – Wrap individual truffles in a clean absorbent paper towel – Place the paper-wrapped truffles inside a closed jar in the fridge (temperature +2°C/6°C) – Change the paper towel every day – Just before eating them, they must be washed with water and brushed under the tap.
