Where Vittad. stands for <strong>Carlo Vittadini<\/strong> (Italian botanist and mycologist who distinguished the variety), also called <strong>black summer truffle<\/strong> for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n\n<p>The name, which originated with <strong>derogatory meaning<\/strong>, is linked to the blackish-brown peridium (the outer part) covered with <strong>pyramidal warts<\/strong> that characterizes it, making it more difficult to clean than other varieties.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, it is a <strong>truffle that is resistant<\/strong> to factors usually crucial for black and white: drought does not challenge it, it withstands <strong>all kinds of soil<\/strong> and gives its best after cooking, making it the most suitable for many dishes.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you recognize it?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Except, of course, for the time of year when it can be harvested<strong>(June 1 to August 31<\/strong>), which leaves little room for doubt, there are several obvious criteria for <strong>distinguishing a Scorzone<\/strong> from any other variety.<\/p>\n\n<p>The matured <strong>surface<\/strong> (peridium) has a <strong>dark color<\/strong> tending to black, and is similar to the skin of an alligator, composed of small diamond-shaped protrusions.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>flesh<\/strong> (gleba) varies in color <strong>from yellowish to more or less intense hazelnut<\/strong>, with highly branched whitish veins that <strong>do not change color<\/strong> when exposed to air.<\/p>\n\n<p>It vegetates in <strong>extremely varied soil types<\/strong>, whether sandy and friable or clayey and compact, and enters into symbiosis with a large number of plant species, but especially with <strong>oaks and hornbeams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/tartufo-nero.jpg\" alt=\"black truffle - events\" class=\"wp-image-88379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/tartufo-nero.jpg 768w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/tartufo-nero-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/tartufo-nero-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/tartufo-nero-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitchen use<\/h2>\n\n<p>It has a more <strong>delicate flavour<\/strong> than the winter ones.<\/p>\n\n<p>No one forbids shaving it fresh as a finishing element on dishes, but given its <strong>excellent resistance to cooking<\/strong>, it is more suited for sauces.<\/p>\n\n<p>The volatile compounds that give life to the characteristic scent bond with fats, so it is often also associated with <strong>rich foods<\/strong> like meat, cheese and eggs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Its rich <strong>woody aroma<\/strong>, reminiscent of garlic, wild mushrooms and hazelnuts, goes very well with lobster, caviar, foie gras, shallots, citrus and aromatic herbs such as tarragon, basil and rocket (rucula).<\/p>\n\n<p>It can retain its properties for <strong>up to a week<\/strong> if properly stored: dry, wrapped in paper towels or white rice and conserved in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n<p>Because of the rough, warty surface, cleaning the black summer truffle <strong>is not the easiest<\/strong>, but given the lower value on finances one can take a few extra liberties to <strong>speed up the process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>One must first arm oneself with a <strong>soft-bristled brush<\/strong> (failing that, a toothbrush) and a <strong>knife<\/strong> with a rounded tip.<\/p>\n\n<p>To <strong>remove soil residue<\/strong>, you can also use a trickle of cold water to rub it off more easily, but always gently so as <strong>not to ruin the surface<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy fresh truffle<\/h2>\n\n<p>It is <strong>extremely difficult<\/strong> to buy fresh truffles on the Internet, given the <strong>short shelf life<\/strong> and the ease with which they <strong>lose<\/strong> their organoleptic characteristics.<\/p>\n\n<p>With us, not only can you buy them<strong> directly from the trifulau<\/strong>, who notifies us of availability based on the harvest, but you receive them at home in <strong>2 to 3 workingdays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fresh truffles are shipped by <strong>express courier<\/strong>, in special packaging that guarantees <strong>integrity and freshness<\/strong> until delivery.<\/p>\n\n<p>For reasons of <strong>proper product storage<\/strong>, shipments are made<strong> on the following days of<\/strong> the week: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n<p>Have we intrigued you and <strong>do you want to try<\/strong> the black summer truffle?

Dopo gli studi all'Universit\u00e0 di Scienze Gastronomiche mi son lasciata andare alle correnti, che un po' per destino un po' per scelta mi han condotta prima a Lucca nella redazione di Cook_inc. e poi al Corriere della Sera, attraverso un flusso interminabile di parole dette e scritte. Guardandomi attorno ho poi capito che la ricerca del bello e genuino riconduceva sempre alla mia terra natia: eccomi cos\u00ec a Langhe.net, realt\u00e0 che appoggio e in cui collaboro con entusiasmo. Italoamericana sulla carta ma aspirante cittadina del mondo, troppo giovane per capirne qualcosa ma con una voglia matta di guardare, approfondire, raccontare.","url":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/author\/kayapearson\/"}]}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13726"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141331"},{"taxonomy":"lgarea","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lgarea?post=141331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
