Description
Fresh Black Summer Truffles
Discover our stunning Fresh Black Summer Truffles from Italy. They are hunted wild and exclusively sourced from the roots of Europe’s oldest trees in Umbria and Tuscany.
They have a milder flavour and aroma than the autumn and winter varieties of black truffle, but have delicate nutty, fresh soil and earthy caramel characteristics and delightful crunchy exterior. This makes them perfect for shaving generously over hot, savoury, starchy, buttery, or cheesy dishes. Use liberally through salads this BBQ season – a lovely earthy counter balance to bitter leaves, or a sharp dressing. Milder than winter truffles, their charm lies in their versatility and ability to complement a wide range of ingredients without overpowering them.

How to Store and Care for Fresh Black Summer Truffles
Step 1: Unpack Immediately
Remove your fresh truffles from the vacuum-sealed packaging as soon as they arrive.
Truffles are living fungi, which means they need to breathe. If left in sealed packaging for more than two days, they will begin to spoil due to lack of air circulation.
Step 2: Proper Storage
Place the truffles in an air-tight container lined with dry paper towels. Store them below 6°C, ideally in the fridge. Allow the Truffle to air-dry each day, ensuring all surface moisture has evaporated. Replace the paper towels daily to keep moisture levels down and ensure the truffles stay dry and fresh. If cared for properly, fresh Black Summer Truffles can last up to 10 days.
Pro Tip: Never store fresh truffles with rice. Although it’s a common myth, rice will actually draw out their delicate aroma and flavour.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
We individually check and grade each truffle for quality before dispatch. Minor nicks, notches, cuts or surface marks may be present—these result from natural foraging or quality testing and do not affect the flavour or freshness.
