Black summer truffle
From 16,66 €
Black summer truffle, Tuber aestivum Vitt., is an Italian truffle with a mild truffle flavor, notes of nuts, and a hazelnut aroma.
The interior color ranges from light creamy to pale brown. The season typically runs from May to September.
Characteristics
Type: Black summer truffle
Latin name: Tuber aestivum Vitt.
Origin: Italy
Season: May to September
Taste: Mild truffle with notes of nuts
Aroma: Hazelnut
Interior color: Light creamy to pale brown
Note
Truffles are a natural product, and the weight may vary. We always select truffles that are as close as possible to the ordered weight.
Serving
Truffles should be served at room temperature to achieve the best aroma and flavor. Therefore, take them out of the refrigerator well in advance of use.
The aroma is released best when the truffle is grated or shaved as a final finish over a lukewarm or warm dish. Summer truffles should not be cooked, but gentle heat can enhance the flavor.
Storage and shelf life
Shelf life is approx. 1–2 weeks with proper storage. Wrap the truffles individually in kitchen paper and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The kitchen paper should be changed about every other day.
The truffle may develop a white mold-like layer on the outside. This is called mycelium and is natural. It can be removed gently with a brush or by quickly rinsing the truffle under cold water and drying it immediately afterward.
Weight and transport
Truffles can lose weight during transport, as they release moisture. Therefore, they are packed in moisture-absorbing paper so that the moisture does not form condensation.
We calibrate our scales daily and always pack a few grams over the ordered weight to compensate for any potential weight loss.
