It's now the season for delicious hand picked whole Fresh Black Winter Truffles - also known as the 'black diamond of the table' these culinary treasures hide deep within the earth in Italy near oak and hazel trees and are harvested from December to March thanks to the experience of the best Italian truffle hunters and their trusted hounds.

The classic recipe for these black truffles is the Salsa Alla Spoletina which is minced truffles added to warm olive oil with a touch of garlic, salt and pepper - an ideal topping for bruschettas or spaghetti.. or why not grate a little black winter truffles on top of vanilla ice cream for a truly delicious dessert!
These popular fresh truffles are widely used because of their similar appearance to the much-revered Alba White Truffle but do not confuse the two! The taste profile of the White Bianchetti Truffles is distinctly strong and reminiscent of garlic.
