Black Winter Truffle – Tuber Melanosporum

Meet the Black Winter Truffle (Tuber Melanosporum), the jewel of the Istrian winter and the most prized among black truffles, also known as the black noble truffle. This exclusive underground fungus will enchant you with its intense, penetrating, and complex aroma, reminiscent of notes of damp earth, musk, honey, and chocolate, bringing a true gastronomic revolution to your plate.

Season and origin: Our Black Winter Truffle from Istria is carefully harvested throughout the winter period, with a focus on the early months of the year when its aroma is most intense. It grows in symbiosis with the roots of oak, hazelnut, and hornbeam, trees abundant in the rich Istrian forests. The specific geographical conditions of Istria give it unique properties and make it sought after worldwide.

Culinary versatility: Tuber Melanosporum is highly valued in the kitchen for its resistance to thermal processing, allowing its use in various culinary combinations. However, its aroma is best highlighted when used fresh or briefly heated. It pairs ideally with:

• Pasta and risotto: Grated over a warm dish, it releases its full aroma.
• Eggs: Omelet, frittata, or scrambled eggs with black winter truffle become a refined breakfast or appetizer.
• Meat dishes: Perfectly complements the taste of red meat, poultry, and game.
• Creamy sauces: Adds depth and earthy notes.
• Fresh warm toast: Combined with quality Istrian olive oil, it creates a simple yet exceptionally rich bite.
