Black Winter Truffles (Tuber Melanosporum) .

The world's best-known truffle. The fruity body can vary in size from that of a hazelnut to an orange. Its shape varies from round and even to irregular and lobed. The skin is black, sometimes with dark red or rust colored patches.

It is a bold truffle perfectly suited to winter dishes. Earthy with aromas that bring to mind fresh fallen snow and damp forests, with hints of molasses, chocolate and tobacco.

They are served raw on warm dishes, but also can be heated (slightly) to release a more robust flavor and aroma, and are ideal for infusions.

We recommend this product is consumed as soon as possible, within 1 week. If stored properly they can have a longer shelf life, but aromatics decrease with time.
