Fresh Tuber aestivum (Summer Truffle) The Tuber aestivum, or summer truffle, is harvested during the summer months from May to September. The higher temperatures during this period give it a mild aroma and a sweeter flavor compared to the winter truffle.
A Subtle Touch for Your Dishes This truffle has a dark exterior and a light brown interior with white veins. Its flavor is perfect for those who prefer milder tastes, offering a more delicate intensity. Despite its subtlety, it remains highly versatile in the kitchen. The fresh Tuber aestivum truffle is ideal for adding a special touch to summer recipes and can also be preserved for year-round enjoyment. However, there’s nothing better than slicing or grating a fresh truffle at its peak season.
