Fresh Black Autumn Truffle

Description

BLACK SUMMER TRUFFLE – TUBER UNCINATUM

The Black Autumn truffle (Tuber Uncinatum) also known as Tartufo Uncinato or Burgundy truffle, is very similar to our Summer Truffle, so much so that according to several scholars, it is actually an autumnal variety of this truffle. Compared to the summer truffle, autumn truffle has a more intense aroma.

The scientific name uncinatum derives from the Latin term uncinatus [hooked] due to the particular shape of its spores, characterised by membranes that, when observed under the microscope, reveal small hook-like filaments.
