Truffles (<em>Tuber aestivum vitt.</em>) - About 1.6 oz (45 g) to 1 lb (454 g) in resealable pouch, by Marky's, from Italy.</span></p> <p>These are considered the most commonly available type of truffle. Their interior is the color of milk chocolate and permeated with a web of whitish veins. They have a distinctly earthy, slightly sweet flavor with delicate hints of hazelnut and cocoa aromas, but it's significantly milder than that of white winter
truffles.</p> <h3>What Should I Know About Black Summer
Truffles?</h3> <p>Scientifically known as <em>Tuber aestivum vitt.</em>, they're a fungus — a variety of black
truffles that typically grow during spring and summer. They're typically collected in Italy, where Mother Nature has arranged for summer
truffles to be found in the same places as winter fungi.</p> <p>Summer
truffles have a firm and lumpy black surface. Their outer skin is quite tough, but this adds a unique crisp to the mushroom when sliced or shaved over a dish. A good fresh summer black truffle should have a pale beige interior permeated with white veins and a mild smell of mushroom, nut, and wet earth.</p> <h3>How Do You Store Black Summer
Truffles?</h3> <p>The shelf life of the summer truffle is 5-7 days if kept properly dry and chilled. Here's what you should do to keep these mushrooms safe and sound until the day you use them:</p> <ul> <li>Inspect them upon arrival and make sure they are clean.</li> <li>If there's any dirt or gravel on a mushroom, gently wipe it off with a clean toothbrush or a soft, damp tissue.</li> <li>Use a short, sharp, clean knife to remove stones or debris lodged in the crevices of the mushroom.</li> <li>Dry each mushroom with a clean paper towel, then wrap it in a new one and put them all into an airtight container.</li> <li>Keep the container on the upper shelf of the fridge. Change the wrapping towels and wipe moisture from the
truffles every day.</li> </ul> <h3>How to Use Summer Black
Truffles in Cooking?</h3> <p>Before adding
truffles to any dish, ensure they are clean, as detailed above. Because summer
truffles feature a delicate and subtle aroma, it's best to use them fresh in your dishes; the high temperatures reached during cooking will otherwise destroy the unique flavor of the fungus. This very flavor will complement the general savor of your pasta or baked potato with some mushroomy and nutty notes.</p> <p>Fresh
truffles best reveal their flavor in paper-thin slices or shavings. We recommend using a dedicated truffle shaver or mandolin to slice your
truffles and sprinkle them on your dishes. A well-sharpened knife can also work, but producing uniform slices will be more difficult.</p> <h3>How Many
Truffles Will Be Enough for a Perfect Dinner?</h3> <p>Because the aroma of summer black
truffles is less intense than that of their winter cousins, generous portions are welcome. The summer mushroom won't overshadow the smells and tastes of other flavorful ingredients; rather, it'll unobtrusively assimilate into your dish and elevate it to a whole new level.</p> <p>If you prefer a stronger truffle flavor in your dishes, you may want to also use some truffle butter or truffle oil alongside these fresh summer
truffles.</p> <h3>How Do I Order Italian Black Summer
