The Black Uncinato Truffle, the Tuber uncinatum Chatin, is harvested and consumed from October 1st to December 31st and is considered by many to be a prized variant of the summer black truffle.
It is harvested and cleaned for us by Tartufi Bianconi, who will ship it directly to your home.
On this page, we present it in quantities of 1 kilogram.
The Black Uncinato Truffle owes its name to the particular shape of its spores which, when observed under a microscope, show small filaments resembling hooks.
The Uncinato resembles the Scorzone quite closely, but has some characteristics that differ from this type:
-the external part (called peridium) is warty, consisting of less pronounced black warts than those of the Scorzone;
-the flesh (called gleba) is darker than that of the Scorzone, almost chocolate-colored when the truffle is very ripe, and is marked by very branched white veins;
-its shape is variable, it can be round but also flattened;
-its dimensions range from that of a walnut to that of a tennis ball, and are generally smaller than those of the Scorzone.
As it is a product that grows spontaneously, it can vary greatly in shape and size, it may present external scratches or other imperfections that, on the other hand, certify its naturalness.
Storage methods: the Black Uncinato Truffle can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 to 15 days between 2° and 6°, wrapped in absorbent paper.
