FRESH SUMMER TRUFFLES
FRESH SUMMER TRUFFLES - Tuber Aestivum
Origin: Italy
Season: May-August
Fresh Summer truffles are the most widespread of all the valued truffle varieties. They are abundant in certain parts of the UK, areas that are usually closely guarded secrets. Summer truffles are also found in many parts of Europe and as far east as Russia, Mongolia, and China.
Summer truffles are more subtle than white Alba or Périgord truffles with notes of caramel and hazelnut, balanced with earthy, oaky aromas.
They are delicious when shaved in abundance over scrambled eggs, roast chicken, risotto or with buttery fresh pasta, light fish dishes, Burrata with tomatoes, or sliced thinly over buttery green beans with a glass of white Burgundy.
NOTE* Fresh summer truffles should be consumed as soon as possible to ensure the best truffle experience.
FRESH SUMMER TRUFFLE COOKING TIPS
Summer truffles are better when the tough outer peridium is gently scraped away with a pairing knife. On most occasions, it can be tough and bitter which takes away from the delicate caramel, and vanilla notes of the interior. Summer truffles should be shaved as thinly as possible over something hot, preferably buttery.
Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container. Wrap each truffle individually in absorbent paper, ensuring they remain dry. Use within 5 days for best quality.
