FRESH WHITE TRUFFLES

Fresh White Truffles come from the northern region of Italy. The flesh of the white truffle ranges from pale cream to brown with white marbling. Alba truffles have an aroma similar to deep-fried sunflower seeds and walnuts.
FRESH BLACK WINTER TRUFFLES
(Tuber Melanosporum)
Season:
November - March
The Black Winter Truffle grows slowly in the undergrowth throughout the winter. Black Truffles have a strong aroma resembling cocoa, licorice, hazelnuts, and mint.
FRESH BLACK BURGUNDY TRUFFLES
( Tuber Uncinatum)
Season:
September - November
Fresh Black Burgundy Truffles are not as pungent as the winter truffles. They still have a lot of flavor with a much smaller price tag. Since the burgundy truffle has also a delicate flavor and it’s better to shave them into thin slices on dishes to finish them.
