Plantin Whole Black Summer Truffles in Jar – 50 grams

Whole Black Summer Truffles (1st Choice) (Preserved in Jar)

Preserved French black summer truffles is a wonderful option when fresh truffles are not available.  The black summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum) has a flesh which ranges from yellowish to grayish with white veins.  Although less strongly flavoured than the black winter truffles, these truffles are regarded as a fine dish ingredient by many enthusiasts.  Since the summer truffle has a delicate flavour, it shouldn’t be used in dishes that are cooked.  Like good extra-virgin olive oil, the heat will destroy the flavor.  Instead, shave thin slices of the truffle onto dishes to finish them off with a great aroma and taste.  A little goes a long way with truffles!
