OUT OF SEASON – Fresh Italian Black Autumn Truffles (Tuber Uncinatum / “Burgundy” Truffles)
£31.00 – £203.00
Description
Our fresh Italian Black Autumn Truffles are sourced wild from the hills of Tuscany, and delivered to us several times per week.
Black Autumn Truffles (Tuber Uncinatum – aka “Burgundy Truffles”) have a lovely nutty, earthy and mushroomy aroma with hints of warmth and chocolate. Their caramel flavour has hints of garlic, hazlenut and woodland musk.
The interior is usually a caramel to chocolate colour. The surface of the fresh Black Autumn Truffle is brown to black with small pyramidal protrusions and craters. Beautiful to behold. This hard exterior can be removed with a pairing knife, as it can be slightly bitter but this is not necessary when shaving or grating. Grate or shave fresh Autumn Truffles as thin as possible over hot, buttery, savoury autumnal dishes. Dairy, mushrooms, carbohydrate, and white meat are all delicious pairings.

Caring for your fresh Italian Black Autumn Truffles
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE – Remove them from the vacuum sealed packaging.
They need to breathe and will suffocate if kept in this sealed packaging for more than two days. Fresh Black Autumn Truffles will last up to 14 days if cared for and stored properly. Store them air-tight, sitting on paper towels. Keep below 6 degrees. Allow the fresh truffles to breathe, and change the surrounding paper daily, to ensure the fresh truffles are kept dry.
All our fresh truffles, including these black truffles are delivered in specialist insulated packaging. This maintains a constant low temperature. This ensures they arrive to you as fresh and aromatic as possible.
We suggest you do not store your fresh truffle with rice. This will draw the flavour and aroma from the fresh truffle.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
Every fresh truffle is individually quality checked and graded to ensure it reaches you in optimum condition. As such there may be small “nicks” cuts, or notches on the exterior of the truffle; created during quality testing or to remove natural damage.
The quality of the truffles is amazing, really lovely products, beautifully packaged and impeccable service. This is now my go to place for anything truffle!!
Truffle was fantastic, would order again
Great quality truffles and great packaging.
I know automn truffles are not the best nor strongest, but here we barely got any taste with an entire grated truffle. Disappointing
Great
Authentic product, well packaged and promptly delivered.
A little underwhelming. The affect of adding the truffle was pleasant, but you really do need to use what looks like a lot to detect it. And even then I would not say it particularly elevated the dish to new culinary heights. It does seem that more heat helps. Simply micro planing over scrambled eggs was uneventful, whereas micro planing on to an omelette before folding in and allowing it a few more minutes heating through gave better results – but I still didn’t have the OMG moment I was hoping for.
Great quality truffles
Excellent service very fresh truffles. Flavour was very delicate and not as strong as expected, but delicious nonetheless!
Great prouct. Excellent customer service!
