| FRESH SUMMER TRUFFLES-CENTRAL ITALY Italian Black Summer truffles widely vary in size and shape, averaging 2 to 10 centimeters in diameter, and have a rounded, lumpy, and lopsided appearance, molded by stones and other textural components of soil.
The truffle's surface ranges in color from brown-black to dark brown, covered in many crevices and pyramidal warts, also known as protrusions, ranging between 3 to 9 millimeters in diameter. Each small knobby protrusion is angular with 4 to 6 sides, creating a rough and bumpy feel, often likened to alligator skin. Underneath the surface, the flesh is light brown to tan and bears a thick, spongy consistency. There is also a faint marbled pattern unique to each truffle, and the thin, branching veins do not change color when exposed to the air.
Italian Black Summer truffles contain a subtle aroma and have a mild, delicate flavor reminiscent of porcini mushrooms mixed with garlic, chocolate, and hazelnut nuances.
