White truffle (Tuber Aestivum) 1KG

Description

The Tuber aestivum, commonly known as the Summer Truffle, is prized for its subtle, earthy aroma and delicate flavor profile. While it features a dark, knobby exterior, its pale ivory to hazelnut interior defines its character. Unlike the intense winter varieties, it offers a refined taste with distinct notes of roasted malt and hazelnut.

• Finishing Touch: Best served raw; shave it thinly or grate it over hot dishes like fresh pasta, risotto, or scrambled eggs just before serving.
• Infusions: Excellent for creating gourmet truffle butter, honey, or infusing mild oils.
• Pairings: Complements creamy cheeses (like Brie or Burrata), white meats, and seafood beautifully.
• Garnish: Adds a luxurious visual and aromatic element to carpaccio or potato-based dishes.

Pro Tip: To maximize its fragrance, avoid high-heat cooking. Let the residual heat of the food release its natural oils.
