Burgundy Truffles (French: truffe de Bourgogne; Italian: tartufo nero di Fragno or scorzonera, “bark”; Spanish: trufa de verano; Swedish: svart sommartryffel), have an intense, hazelnut-like aroma and are highly prized for their gastronomic qualities. They are used in the haute cuisine of France and Italy, as well as a substitute for the Périgord black truffle (T. melanosporum).
With bodies (ascocarps) from 2 centimeters (1 in) to 10 centimeters (4 in) in diameter, burgundy truffles are relatively large. Their brown or black outer skin (peridium) forms pyramidal warts about 3 to 9 mm wide, resembling rough bark.
Burgundy truffles are harvested from September to late December, sometimes also until late January.
Burgundy truffles are found across Europe, from Spain to Eastern Europe.
The flavor, size, and color of summer truffles (Italian: tartufo estivo) are similar to that of burgundy truffles, but their aroma is less intense and the flesh (gleba) is a paler hazel color.
As their name suggests, summer truffles are harvested earlier than burgundy truffles, from May to August.

Product life: 1 to 2 weeks, kept in a refrigerator at 37.5 F (3 C ), wrapped in a paper towel.

We recommend consuming the truffles as soon as possible.
