Description
Black Burgundy Season: from September to December
Our exquisite Black Burgundy Truffles (Tuber Uncinatum) are a luxurious culinary delight sought after by chefs and food aficionados worldwide. Renowned for their mild and delicate flavor with hazelnut notes, these truffles offer a lighter taste and aroma compared to their black or white winter counterparts, making them an affordable luxury.
Where it comes from? Our Black Burgundy Truffles are 100% Italian. The main region is Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo, Campania, Molise.
Burgundy truffles are lighter in taste and aroma than Black or White Winter truffles, which makes them an "affordable luxury" — for a more “classic” truffle flavor, we suggest to wait until White Truffles (coming soon) or Black Winter Truffles (coming in December).
How to use Black Burgundy Truffles?
Most chefs & restaurants complement Burgundy truffles with truffle oil in dishes like truffle pasta, risotto or pizza. Burgundy truffles can really shine on their own in dishes like crudos, tartares, or paired with other seasonal mushrooms, but they are commonly used along with truffle oil.
The most famous recipe for Black Burgundy Truffles is Spoletina.
The Spoletina sauce can also be used in scrambled eggs, omelette, risotto, pizza, steak, hamburger, pasta and lasagne.
You can also grate it over our burrata, Urbani burger or bagel with our cream cheese.
If you prefer to slice truffles over your food we strongly suggest to enhance the truffle flavor with our Truffle Oil, Truffle Butter or Truffle Sauce. It’s important that you use Urbani’s product that are 100% natural and won’t interfere with the Fresh Truffle aroma.
Suggested quantity: per person use 1 oz for entree or 0.5 oz for appetizer.
How to store Black Burgundy Truffles? Fresh Truffles should be consumed as soon as possible. They last just a few days.
For best storing: wrap each truffle singularly in paper towel, place them inside a glass jar, and store in your fridge. Replace the paper towel daily.
Remember: Truffles do not like humidity!
