Our Truffles

The truffle is a fruiting body of fungi belonging to the Tuber genus that carries out its entire life cycle underground, an underground fungus which must necessarily live in symbiosis with arboreal plants, such as oak, fir, beech, linden ... which benefit from the nutrients such as mineral salts of the truffle.

Black Summer Truffle

The black summer truffle or Tuber Aestivum Vittadini, also known by the name of Scorzone, is a kind of truffle with a very similar appearance to the precious black truffle, but with different aromatic and ripening characteristics. Compared to its renowned cousin, the summer truffle is considered less valuable and is available at significantly lower market prices; however, its scent and flavor can give great satisfaction to even the most demanding palates. These characteristics make it an ideal product for those looking for a versatile, pleasant truffle with a delicate flavor at competitive prices. In cooking, the black summer truffle is mainly used for the preparation of truffle sauces.

The scent of the summer truffle is less intense than that of the prized black truffle, more delicate and tending to take on fungal aromas. These characteristics make the Scorzone smell very pleasant.

Like the prized black truffle, the summer truffle is also loved for its flavor. The scorzone has a strong but not too intense flavor that vaguely recalls porcini mushrooms. The delicacy and pleasantness of the flavor make it a very versatile ingredient in the kitchen, where it lends itself to multiple combinations. The black summer truffle has that characteristic "gas" flavor much less present, a characteristic that makes it highly appreciated by those who do not like this strong flavor, characteristic of almost all other types of truffles.

White Truffle

The prized white truffle has a fruit-bearing body with a globular and uneven shape, which differs according to the degree of softness of the soil. In fact, if the latter is hard, the Tuber Magnatum Pico will be more irregular; if the soil is soft, the surface of the product is more uniform and its value increases.

Precious Black Truffle

The Nero Pregiato, whose scientific name is Tuber Melanosporum, is an underground fungus that grows in symbiosis with the roots of various types of trees (in particular Turkey oak, downy oak, holm oak, hazelnut, lime, hornbeam) and prefers calcareous, permeable soils , and with good sun exposure.

Hooked truffle

The Black Uncinato matures from September to December, mainly in the woods, in very shady areas, characterized by clayey soils, rich in water and humus, in symbiosis with broad-leaved trees, such as Turkey oak, Downy oak and, above all, Hornbeam.

Bianchetto Truffle

The bianchetto truffle, in a certain sense, is the exact opposite of the black summer truffle: its intense, distinctly garlicky aroma and with that characteristic "gas" smell with which the generic taste of truffles is often described, pleases enthusiasts, used expertly in the kitchen.
