The most aromatic and flavourful Black Truffles and White Truffles are available in the Winter time, and these are naturally the most rare, sought after, and expensive.
Both Spring and Autumn bring both Black Truffles and White Truffles that have loads of flavour and perfume, at a very reasonable cost.
Summer brings Black Truffles with the most subtle nutty, caramel flavour and aroma. These are the least expensive.
