More or less rounded in shape, its size can reach but sometimes even exceed that of an apple. The skin color changes from bright red to very dark brown or black, while the flesh goes from pale yellow to brown. When the truffle is ripe, the flesh turns black with white veins.
Fresh black truffle, the excellence of the truffle
The fresh black truffle is an exceptional product with a truly unique flavour, which is fully expressed when heated or in contact with fatty bodies with butter or cheese.
Its unparalleled taste lights up holiday tables and remains the variety most appreciated by gourmets.
The black truffle, savored as an aperitif or used to enhance a dish, can be tasted in many different ways and allows you to give free rein to your imagination.
Tasting
Fresh black truffle can be tasted in many different ways, but the simplest is a slice of freshly buttered toast, with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of fleur de sel.
The truffle can also be added to dishes at the end of cooking to ensure that the heat helps to spread all the aromas. Be careful though: if the heat is excessive, the aromas could be lost. Finally, grated just before serving on meat and fish, it will enhance every dish with maximum simplicity.
Truffles love fatty bodies, so it is possible to add them to cheeses and butter and leave them to infuse in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
