Reading the product
What you judge, piece in hand
A white truffle is judged first by the nose: a clean, deep aroma, with no chemical or fermented note. A good piece can be smelled through the paper.
Then firmness, the integrity of the skin and how it holds when cut: a soft, waterlogged or hollowed piece loses its interest fast. The flesh, from cream white to hazelnut brown, is crossed by fine pale veins.
The piece you expect arrives whole and clean, with no excess soil or damaged areas. That is what your brigade should be able to count on at every delivery.
- Aroma: clean, deep, never chemical
- Firmness: firm piece, no soft spots
- Skin and flesh: intact skin, flesh veined with pale lines
- Grades: third, second, first and extra

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the white truffle season?
It is harvested in autumn, into early winter. Availability changes from one season to the next with the weather: when it rains little, harvests are thinner.
How do you store a fresh white truffle?
In the fridge, wrapped in paper towel, in the least cold part, and used within the first days: the aroma fades every day.
What is the difference from black truffle?
White (Tuber magnatum Pico) is worked raw and its aroma is volatile; winter black (Tuber melanosporum) stands up to heat; summer black (Tuber aestivum) is the softest. Three profiles, three uses.
Which grades do you offer?
Four levels of selection: third, second, first and extra. The size of the piece is then agreed with each order.
What is the price?
The price of fresh truffle varies with the season, the grade and availability. We give it at the time of the order, for the grade requested.
How fast do you deliver?
Fresh truffle is delivered within 24 hours across Italy and Europe.
