Black Burgundy Truffles | Tuber Uncinatum

Black Burgundy Truffle (Tuber uncinatum)

Discover the refined aroma and distinctive flavor of our 100% Italian Black Burgundy Truffle (Tuber uncinatum), also known as the Autumn Truffle. Harvested during the cooler autumn months, this seasonal delicacy develops a deeper aroma and darker interior than the Black Summer Truffle, with elegant earthy and hazelnut notes.

Elevate your favorite dishes by shaving fresh Black Burgundy truffles over pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, bruschetta, meats, fish, salads, and more. Their balanced character makes them exceptionally versatile, adding depth and unmistakable truffle flavor without overwhelming the other ingredients.

A classic way to enjoy Black Burgundy truffle is simply shaved over warm pasta with butter or extra virgin olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano. Its aroma can also benefit from gentle warmth, making it ideal for finishing risotto, creamy sauces, eggs, and other warm preparations. Avoid prolonged cooking or excessive heat to preserve its delicate flavor and fragrance.

Planning your next dish? Keep in mind our recommended serving size of approximately 1 oz (28gr) per serving, allowing the truffle to fully express its aroma and flavor.

Harvested in Italy and shipped overnight in insulated packaging to preserve peak freshness.

PLEASE NOTE: The photos are for illustrative purposes only. Truffles are a fully natural product and each piece is unique in shape and size. The number of truffles per ounce may vary depending on individual weight. For example, 50gr may include one or more smaller truffles. The total weight purchased is always guaranteed.

How to use it

For the best flavor, serve fresh truffles at room temperature. Remove the quantity you plan to use from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before serving.

Black Burgundy truffles can be shaved using a truffle shaver, microplane®, or mandolin set to the thinnest possible setting.

Their aromatic profile responds well to gentle warmth. Shave them over warm dishes just before serving or incorporate them briefly into simple preparations with butter, olive oil, pasta, risotto, eggs, or sauces. Avoid prolonged cooking or high temperatures, which can diminish their delicate aroma.

How to clean it

Due to their naturally high moisture content, fresh truffles may occasionally develop a small amount of white surface mold or mycelium.

Simply remove it gently with a clean towel or small soft brush before use.

How to store it

To maintain the quality of your fresh truffles, follow these steps immediately upon receiving them:

• Wrap: Enclose the truffles in clean, dry paper towels.
• Contain: Place the wrapped truffles in an airtight container.
• Refrigerate: Store in the refrigerator at 34°–36°F.
• Daily Maintenance: Replace the paper towels daily to help manage excess moisture.

For the best experience, we recommend enjoying your fresh truffles as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of arrival. When properly stored, black truffles can remain fresh for up to approximately one week. Always check their firmness before use.
