**** Local Sales Only For Fresh Truffles ****

Variety: Tuber Melanosporum Vittadini

( We recommend using Fresh Truffles in around 5 - 7 days of purchase. The sooner the better to enjoy them at their peak aromatics )

Tuber Melanosporum, better known as the black winter truffle, is reputed throughout the world. More or less round in shape, the outer skin of black winter truffles is black and is covered in diamond shaped pyramids. The inside is a beautiful black with a hint of purple with distinctive white marbling. The black winter truffle owes its fame to the complexity of its flavor. The perfume may range from wet mushroom, hazelnut, chocolate to alcohol. Black winter truffles are available and in season from December to March (Northern Hemisphere)

We recommend 5-15 grams per person for a single portion depending on the dish.
