Reading the product
Black flesh veined with white, an aroma with depth
The black winter truffle (Tuber melanosporum) is recognised by its black flesh veined with white and its intense, deep, lasting aroma. It is the species commonly called Périgord black truffle in France.
Unlike white, heat reveals it: it is worked in shavings, brunoise or grated, raw or cooked, in stocks, compound butters, fillings and crust cooking.
It is judged by firmness, a clean aroma and even flesh, with no dry or damaged areas.
