Uncinato Black Truffle

The Burgundy Truffle, also known as the autumn truffle or Tuber uncinatum, is a highly prized variety of black truffle appreciated for its intense and persistent aroma.

Its outer skin is black and rough, while the internal flesh takes on hazelnut tones, streaked with white veins that highlight its quality. Its scent is reminiscent of hazelnut, undergrowth, and mature mushrooms, offering a delicate yet persistent flavor.

Harvested in Italian and European forests from September to January, it grows in symbiosis with oaks, hazelnut trees, beeches, and other deciduous trees, on calcareous and well-drained soils. In the kitchen, it lends itself to numerous uses: sliced raw over tagliolini, risottos, or eggs, or incorporated into sauces and condiments to enhance any dish.

Stored correctly, it maintains its freshness and aroma for about a week, bringing a refined and accessible culinary experience to the table.
