The exterior of the Precious Black Truffle is characterized by a rough, warty surface. It’s inside, however, where the magic truly lies. When cut open, it reveals a rich, dark color, almost black, with white veins running through it, creating a striking contrast that is as visually appealing as it is delicious.

On the palate, the Precious Black Truffle offers a complex flavor profile. It starts with a blend of earthy and nutty notes, followed by hints of chocolate, and finishes with a subtle touch of bitterness, providing an unforgettable taste sensation.

The Bianchetto Truffle has a smooth, light skin, often with a pinkish hue. Inside, it reveals a varied color palette ranging from white to reddish-brown, interspersed with white veins that become more pronounced with maturity.

The Uncinato Truffle, or Tuber Uncinatum, ripens in the Autumn-Winter season and is known for its high organoleptic qualities. It can reach a considerable size and is often described as aesthetically perfect. It is very similar to the Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum), but it has less large warts, a much darker gleba (the inner part of the truffle), a stronger and more pleasant scent, and a more marked flavor.

Its outer skin, or peridium, is black with underdeveloped warts. The Uncinato Truffle develops in the same areas as the summer truffle, usually in cool areas. The harvesting period is from October to mid-March.

The Uncinato Truffle has a delicate and pleasant scent, and its taste has been described as more intense and flavorful than the black summer truffle. It can be used to garnish dishes, giving them elegance and a unique flavor.

Please note that truffles should be stored properly to maintain their flavor and aroma. Always purchase from a reputable source to ensure you’re getting a high-quality product.
