Tuber Uncinatum VITT Tondello comprises very small or small black hooked truffles, selected for use in cooking where appearance is not a priority. These truffles, although small in size, retain all the characteristic aroma of the black hooked truffle, with notes of forest, mushrooms and nuts. Ideal for sauces, fondues or grating, they offer the intensity of truffle flavour at a more affordable price.
La Tuber Uncinatum VITT Spaccato désigne les truffes noires à crochets qui, en raison d'une fissuration naturelle ou de dommages mineurs survenus au cours de la récolte, présentent une forme imparfaite. Malgré son aspect imparfait, la truffe fendue conserve tout l'arôme typique de la Tuber Uncinatum, avec ses notes de champignons, de noisettes et de sous-bois. C'est une option idéale pour une utilisation en cuisine, où l'aspect esthétique passe au second plan, mais où la saveur reste essentielle.
The Tuber Uncinatum 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.
