The Tuber Aestivum  VITT Extra, known as the black hooked truffle, is selected from the best specimens collected on the grounds of the Valtrebbia Truffle company and from the collaboration with experienced Italian truffle hunters. Regular in shape and generous in size, this truffle has a black, warty rind, while the inner flesh is light brown with clearly visible white veins. Its aroma is intense and earthy, with hints of hazelnut and mushroom, making it perfect for autumn and winter haute cuisine dishes. This Extra quality is chosen for its impeccable appearance and strong aromatic impact.

The Tuber Aestivum  VITT first choice is a black hooked truffle of high quality, but with slight imperfections compared to the Extra category. It has a more irregular shape and some surface imperfections, but retains the aromatic quality that characterises this truffle. The interior is brown with well-defined white veins, and the aroma is robust, with notes of forest and damp earth. This category is ideal for those seeking a truffle of excellent quality, but without the need for perfect aesthetics.

Tuber Aestivum VITT Broken refers to black hooked truffles that have a non-integral shape.

Availability: from June 1st to August 31st

Ideal for sauces, fondues or grating, they offer the intensity of truffle flavour at a more affordable price.
