Detailed Information

Tuber melanosporum, commonly known as the black winter truffle or Périgord truffle, is valued for its complex aroma and deep earthy flavour. It develops underground in symbiosis with trees such as oak and hazelnut and is traditionally harvested during the winter season.

Freezing allows the truffles to retain their natural characteristics while extending shelf life. The truffle features a dark, textured exterior and a marbled interior with fine white veins. It is commonly shaved or grated over warm dishes such as pasta, risotto, eggs, poultry, or creamy sauces to release its aroma.
