Autumn truffle (Tuber uncinatum)
The autumn truffle, with brown flesh and a hazelnut fragrance.
Tuber uncinatum is the autumn truffle, close to the summer truffle but more aromatic. Its flesh, hazelnut to chocolate-brown, is marbled with pale veins. Its fragrance, both woody and nutty, shows well raw as well as in warm preparations. It is sliced or grated at the last moment, on simple dishes that showcase it.
