Since the summer truffle has a more delicate flavor, it shouldn’t be used in dishes that are cooked. Like good extra-virgin olive oil, the heat will destroy the flavor.

Thus, it is often that they are paired with rich foods such as meat, cheese and eggs. Black Summer truffles pair well with lobster, caviar, fois gras, pasta, cream sauces, garlic, shallots, light-bodied vinegars, mascarpone, aged hard cheeses, citrus and herbs such as tarragon, basil and arugula. Truffles will keep, dry and tightly wrapped or stored in rice, for one to two weeks. The summer truffles taste is really light compare to the winters truffles and also this is the reason why it cost less. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of our truffles came with a little slice , the cut or slice of the truffle is for quality and freshness test\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh truffles like all mushrooms are subject to losing weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePer Piece Sizes Run As Follows: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Size: 2oz (4-6 pieces)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium Size: 4oz (8-10pieces)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Size: 8oz (16-17 pieces)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra large: 16oz(32 pieces )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct of Umbria, Italy every week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShelf life between one week. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe encourage to eat fresh at soon as possible and to keep in an airtight container in fridge with some towel paper \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tita Italian","offers":[{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":14649078775917,"sku":"","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":14649078808685,"sku":"9M-K55C-A3HJ","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":14649078841453,"sku":"","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 oz","offer_id":14649084248173,"sku":"","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/9138\/4941\/products\/summer-black-truffle.jpg?v=1692951310"},{"product_id":"fresh-australian-black-perigord-truffle-melanosporum","title":"Fresh Australian Black Perigord Truffle (Melanosporum)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTuber Melanosporum, called the black truffle, Périgord truffle or French, Australian black truffle, is a species of truffle native to Southern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the most expensive edible mushrooms in the world.
