DESCRIPTION: The scorzone, or fresh Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum Vitt.), offers a raw ingredient to be prepared freely in the 500g format. Its thick, irregular outer skin, dark brown or black in color, encloses an interior that ranges from white to ochre and hazelnut depending on its maturity and origin. Choose it to bring truffle to several dishes served at the same table.

HARVEST: In Umbria, the Summer Truffle harvesting period runs from May 1 to August 31.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING: We ship fresh summer truffles in refrigerated polystyrene boxes to ensure the best possible preservation of the product during transport. (Recipe booklet included)

STORAGE:  Fresh truffles should be stored in the refrigerator at 0°/+4°C wrapped individually in paper towels and placed in a plastic or glass container, for a maximum of 5 days.

HOW TO CONSUME: Fresh truffles can be enjoyed in various ways. They can be sliced directly over your favorite dishes or grated to prepare a sauce to season your creations.

NOTES: Fresh truffles are sold already washed; nevertheless, we recommend washing and/or brushing them thoroughly before use. The presence of white spots on the skin is completely normal and can easily be removed by washing. Each piece is carefully selected by our expert staff.

Size: The truffles may be whole and/or split; this absolutely does not affect the quality of the product, but rather indicates the truffle’s degree of maturity. Size of the product in question: from 10g - 30g

The truffle’s origin may vary depending on availability, from Umbria to other regions of Italy.
