Description

Discover the exquisite depth of flavor with our premium Tuber uncinatum, also known as the Burgundy Truffle or Autumn Truffle. Sourced from the rich, chalky soils of Europe’s most renowned truffle regions, this highly prized fungus offers a sophisticated and aromatic experience for discerning palates.

Key Features:

Distinctive Aroma: Tuber uncinatum is celebrated for its unique and complex aroma, often described as earthy, musky, and nutty, with subtle hints of hazelnut, mushroom, and even notes of damp forest floor. This captivating fragrance is more pronounced than that of its summer truffle cousin (Tuber aestivum) due to a longer maturation period.
Rich Flavor Profile: When shaved or grated, the Burgundy Truffle imparts a deep, earthy flavor that beautifully complements a wide array of dishes. Its taste is less pungent than the white truffle, offering a more nuanced and persistent savoriness that enhances, rather than overwhelms.
Beautiful Appearance: Typically round to irregular in shape, Tuber uncinatum boasts a rough, dark peridium (skin) ranging from dark brown to black. When mature, the gleba (inner flesh) is a beautiful dark brown with striking, intricate white marbling (veins) that do not change color upon exposure to air.
Versatile Culinary Ingredient: The Burgundy Truffle is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It excels when used to elevate pasta dishes, risottos, eggs, poultry, red meats, and roasted vegetables. Its robust flavor stands up well to cooking, making it an excellent choice for infusing oils, butters, and sauces.

Seasonal Delicacy: Harvested primarily from late summer through winter (typically September to January), Tuber uncinatum is a seasonal delicacy, offering peak flavor and aroma during these months.
Carefully Selected: Our truffles are meticulously hand-selected by experienced foragers to ensure optimal ripeness, quality, and aromatic intensity. Each truffle is carefully cleaned and inspected before shipment to guarantee a premium product.
Culinary Suggestions:

Slice thinly over scrambled eggs, infuse into warm butter for a luxurious pasta sauce, shave over a classic risotto, or use to finish a gourmet pizza. Pair with mild cheeses, potatoes, or add to a rich cream sauce for an unforgettable culinary experience.

Storage:

For optimal freshness, store your Tuber uncinatum in the refrigerator, wrapped in a paper towel within an airtight container. Change the paper towel daily to absorb moisture. Consume within 5-7 days of receipt for the best flavor and aroma.
