Black summer truffles are the most common of the black truffle because they have such a long season. They are available from May to September, and they are excellent value for money. They have a delicately mild nose and flavour so we highly recommend using truffle oil or truffle butter to bring out that wonderful restaurant-quality flavour. Shave generously over pasta to garnish then add a drizzle of truffle oil and enjoy.

Flavour: 

Fresh truffles, although pungent, may not always give you the intense flavour you would expect and may have tasted in a restaurant. This is because all restaurants will also use truffle oil or butter to enhance the flavour. We recommend that you also use some of our truffle oils or truffle products to give you the best results!

For a limited time, we are offering a free bottle of our very own Fine Food Specialist black truffle oil with every Black Summer Truffle 50g + ordered. 

Origin: Northern Italy 

PLEASE NOTE: We do not ship truffles on Mondays as we receive them fresh from Italy on Tuesdays and Thursdays 

Please note that because this is a natural product, sizes and shapes will vary. The product may come in several pieces or in one piece. The average size of a truffle is usually 10-20g. We will always try to send out whole pieces where possible.

Availability: May-September

How to clean and keep fresh truffles

The truffles we deliver are so fresh, they may still have a fine covering of soil or sand from when they were first unearthed. Gently dab with a damp cloth to clean. We advise to consume our fresh truffles within 3 days of receiving.

Once they have been gently cleaned, wrap each truffle individually in a fresh sheet of kitchen paper towel. Place the wrapped truffles in a clean, airtight plastic or glass container, such as a flip-top jar with a tight seal.
Change the paper towel every morning and re-wrap the truffles. Put them back in their container and refrigerate, repeating the process until you are ready to use them.
