Season October – December
White Alba Truffle

Flavor profile

Intense and complex aroma — earthy, garlicky, musky, with a faint cheesy note. Highly aromatic and delicate at once. Appreciated above all for its fragrance.

How to use

Always served raw. Thinly shaved over warm dishes just before serving to protect its volatile aroma.

Classic pairings

  • Hand-cut fresh egg pasta (Piedmont-style)
  • Parmesan risotto
  • Eggs — fried, soft-boiled, or scrambled
  • Fontina fondue and Parmesan
  • Raw veal tartare
  • Butter and cream sauces
  • Stuffed fresh pasta

Suggested wine

Barolo, Barbaresco (aged Nebbiolo), white Burgundy (Chardonnay), Roero Arneis, Gavi, or vintage Champagne.

Black Winter Truffle

Tuber melanosporum
November – March

Season November – March
Black Winter Truffle

Flavor profile

Strong aroma with fruity notes of cocoa, forest floor, and dried fruit. Its flavor deepens when gently heated, releasing a rich, deeply prized umami character.

How to use

Sliced or grated, best raw or lightly warmed. Peak season: January and February.

Classic pairings

  • Scrambled eggs, omelets, soft-cooked eggs
  • Fresh pasta, risotto, gnocchi
  • Foie gras and savory meat pies
  • Duck-fat roasted potatoes

Tuber aestivum

Season May – September
Black Summer Truffle

Flavor profile

Delicate earthy and nutty aroma with hints of hazelnut and mushroom. Mild when young, more pronounced as it matures — ideal for complementing rather than dominating a dish.

How to use

Sliced or grated. Use more generously than winter truffles due to its lighter intensity.

Classic pairings

  • Fresh pasta, tagliatelle, risotto
  • Eggs and frittatas
  • Mushroom-based sauces (porcini, chanterelles)
  • Soft cheeses — mozzarella, burrata, ricotta
  • Summer vegetables — asparagus, zucchini, potatoes
  • Carpaccio of beef or veal
  • Bruschetta and focaccia
  • White fish carpaccio and shellfish

Suggested wine

Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, or light reds such as Pinot Noir.

Earthy and musky aroma with notes of chocolate, forest floor, and dark fruit. A cultivated Southern Hemisphere variety with robust, consistent quality — slightly less complex than its European counterpart.

Classic pairings

  • Scrambled eggs and truffled omelets
  • Hand-cut pasta, gnocchi, creamy risotto

Flavor profile

More developed and aromatic than the Black Summer, yet less intense than Black Winter. Earthy and woody with notes of hazelnut, undergrowth, and hints of cocoa or spice.

Classic pairings

  • Tagliatelle, egg pasta, pumpkin risotto
