  • DESCRIPTION OF FRESH SUMMER BLACK TRUFFLE 

    Fresh Summer Black Truffle (tuber aestivum Vitt.) is known vulgarly as Scorzone, being characterized by a very hard outer rind.

    In central Italy, it is definitely the best known truffle as the area is ideal for its creation.

    Its large production in the wild determines its so affordable price.

    It has a pleasant and delicate aroma.

    The gleba (inner flesh), always light in color, varies from light hazel to brown and is crisscrossed with numerous white veins.

    The peridium (outer rind) is blackish-brown in color, and is characterized by large, sharp pyramidal warts that are clearly evident.

  • TRADITIONAL WAY OF USING SCORZONE

    It is recommended to wash the truffle only when 'necessary with the help of a medium/hard bristle brush under cold running water. Dry it well with paper towels before use.

    It is one of the truffles that best holds up to high temperatures although it is definitely recommended not to sauté or brown it.

    Use it to make a sauce that you will use to season croutons, eggs and whatnot.

    Grattugiate lo scorzone abbastanza finemente aggiungendo Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva, aglio e sale q.b.

    To garnish your dish you can add a few slices of truffle using the truffle slicer.

    It arrived two days late and at first did not seem to be of quality but I had to reconsider upon use. Despite the delay in delivery, my rating still remains positive.
