About the truffle
Season: from May till October
Origin: Istria
Tuber Aestivum, also known as summer truffle connects with roots of several trees: oak, beech, poplar, hazel, pine and linden. Dark on the outside and with a pronounced pyramidal bark, its main difference from the Tuber Melanosporum lies on the inside, which is cream-coloured with hazel tones.
Less perfumed and flavourful than the winter truffle, with a gentler aroma. The summer truffle is an exceptional gourmet product and more affordable than Tuber Melanosporum.
