DESCRIPTION: The fresh Summer Truffle (tuber aestivum vitt.), also known as Scorzone Truffle, is one of the many edible truffle varieties. Its appearance is very distinctive as it has a thick and irregular rind (also called peridium). The rind color ranges from very dark brown to deep black. Inside, it has a gleba whose color varies from white to ochre and hazelnut depending on the level of ripeness and the region of origin.

HARVEST: In Umbria, the Summer Truffle harvest period is from May 1st to August 31st.

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