Detailed Information

Tuber melanosporum, commonly known as the black winter truffle or Périgord truffle, is one of the most prized truffle varieties in European cuisine. It grows underground in symbiosis with oak and hazelnut trees and is traditionally harvested during the winter season.

The truffle features a dark, textured exterior and a marbled interior with fine white veins. Its aroma is complex and earthy, developing further when gently warmed in dishes such as pasta, risotto, eggs, poultry, or cream-based sauces. Thin shaving is the preferred method of serving to highlight its fragrance.
