Fresh Summer Truffle — Tuber Aestivum

The summer truffle is the mildest of our truffles — nutty in aroma, with pale, finely veined flesh. It is a good choice for your first try with fresh truffle. Season: May to September.

How to use

Shave it fresh over the finished dish — on pasta, scrambled eggs, salads or carpaccio. As its aroma is more restrained than that of winter and autumn truffles, you can be a little more generous — around 10 g per person. Do not cook it.

Shipping

We ship Tuesday to Thursday with DHL Express, chilled in a polystyrene box with ice packs and bedded on wood shavings. Your order leaves on the morning of the next shipping day; within Germany it usually reaches you the day after. Chilled shipping costs are shown in the basket. Several fresh truffles in one order travel together in one cool box — so shipping is charged only once.

Storage

Remove from the transport packaging on arrival. Wrapped in a dry kitchen towel in a closed jar in the fridge, it keeps its aroma for about a week. Change the towel daily.

Goes well with

• Truffle bratwurst and truffle knackwurst — travel chilled in the same box at no extra shipping cost
• Truffle slicer — for wafer-thin slices, with an adjustable blade
• Truffle salt — an easy everyday truffle note
• Risotto and pasta — the classic base
• Truffle oil — for finishing, keeps all year round
