Summer black truffle: characteristics

On the outside, the summer black truffle is rough, black in color with brown highlights, while on the inside it is colored between brown and hazelnut with thin lighter veins.

Being a product that grows spontaneously, it can vary greatly in shape and size, and it may have external scratches or other imperfections which, on the other hand, certify its naturalness.

Another aspect to consider regarding quality is that the truffle reaches its complete maturation typically starting from the second half of June. At the beginning of the month, it may be less fragrant and aromatic.

The summer black truffle, unlike the white one, has a longer shelf life and can easily last 7-10 days from harvest to consumption.
