Fresh Summer Truffle – Tuber Aestivum
The elegance of a sun-kissed truffle, light and delicately aromatic.
From May to August, the fresh summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum) reveals its unique character: beige flesh veined with white, a black rough skin, and a subtle aroma of undergrowth and hazelnut.
Less powerful than the winter black truffle, it stands out for its finesse and its ability to elevate your summer dishes.
At Plantin, we carefully select each fresh truffle to guarantee impeccable quality. Perfect for both truffle lovers and chefs.
