Fresh Black Summer Truffles (Tuber aestivum)

Italian cuisine loves these tantalising truffles in country cooking and classic restaurant dishes, but Black Summer Truffles are less well known elsewhere. We think they’re hugely underrated. They are delightfully mild in May, with gentle notes of hazelnut, but then develop with the season, deepening to an intense, earthy aroma by midsummer. Try them the Italian way: in a risotto of king prawns with garlic, or in tiny shavings over a seared steak tagliata.

How to use Fresh Truffles:

Suitable on any dish! They are best sliced if used raw, or grated if cooked. Largely used in Italian cuisine in stuffed pasta or in meat roulade sauces. They are however, fabulous on a slice of bread or fried eggs with a little extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Home serving:

For a starter we recommend you allow approximately 10 grams of Black Summer Truffles per person. Please allow approximately 20 grams per person for a gourmet main course.
