Description
WHITE TRUFFLE (Tuber Magnatum Pico): the white truffle is the finest kind of truffle. The region of Molise is the Italian region with the highest white truffle production, since they are so abundant there. Its peridium has a yellow-ocher color, sometimes with some green hues; its gleba, on the other hand, has a hazelnut or brown color marbled with white veins. Its shape can be roundish or lobed, depending on the soil, while its weight may vary from a few grams up to more than a kilo. This truffle grows along water streams and under some trees, like linden trees, poplars, willow-trees and oaks. The harvest period takes place from 1st October to 15th January. It should be consumed cut into thin strips and it’s particularly particularly recommended for warm dishesm, since they enhance its aroma.
RECCOMENDED QUANTITY: It’s recommended to use a minimum of 10g of product per portion.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: To ensure an optimal preservation of the product, the truffles must be stored in the fridge at the temperature of 3°C-4°C in a glass or plastic airtight container, wrapping up every piece in towel paper and making sure to change the latter every single day.

As a matter of fact, the organoleptic quality of this kind of truffle is enhanced if consumed raw and cut into very thin slices on the eggs, tagliatelle and risotto with butter or meat tartare.
