November – March
Black Périgord Truffle
Tuber melanosporum
CHARACTER
Tuber melanosporum is the truffle of sauces, of butter, of preparations where heat is part of the story. Unlike the white truffle, it does not evaporate on contact with warmth — it deepens. Its dark, marble-veined interior is immediately recognizable. In Piedmont we source it selectively, always with verified origin, as it deserves.
Aroma profile
Deep and earthy: dark cocoa, forest floor, dried fruit, a hint of musk. More structured than the white truffle, it reveals itself slowly and holds well with gentle heat.
