DESCRIPTION: Fresh Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum Vitt.), also known as scorzone, is recognizable by its thick, irregular skin, ranging from dark brown to black. When cut, the interior varies from white to ochre and hazelnut depending on its maturity and origin. The 50g size is a starting point for getting to know its appearance and choosing how to prepare it in the kitchen.

HARVEST: In Umbria, the Summer Truffle harvest 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)

CONSUMPTION METHOD: Fresh truffles can be enjoyed in various ways. They can be sliced directly over your favorite dishes or grated to prepare a sauce for your creations.
