THE FRESH TRUFFLE GUIDE
Each truffle variety has its own unique aroma, flavour and season. Explore our guide below to learn more about the fresh truffles we source for professional kitchens across Europe.
SEASON: SEP -DEC
Black Autumn Truffles
Tuber uncinatum
Found throughout the woodlands of Europe, Black Autumn Truffles are harvested from September to December as cooler conditions enhance their aroma and flavour. Truffle Pig sources its Black Autumn Truffles primarily from Italy and Spain, selecting fresh seasonal truffles for their quality and consistency.
Closely related to the Summer Truffle, Tuber uncinatum develops a richer character as the season progresses, with distinctive notes of hazelnut, wild mushroom and woodland earth that pair beautifully with pasta, risotto, eggs, poultry and game.
SEASON: DEC - MAR
Black Winter Truffles
Tuber Melanosporum
Widely regarded as the finest black truffle, Tuber melanosporum is prized for its intense aroma, complex flavour and distinctive black marbled flesh. Harvested during the winter months from December to March, these truffles are found across parts of Southern Europe.
Truffle Pig sources its Black Winter Truffles almost exclusively from Northern Spain, where ideal growing conditions consistently produce exceptional quality. Their rich earthy character, with notes of cocoa, nuts and woodland, makes them the benchmark truffle for chefs worldwide.
SEASON: OCT - JAN
White Winter Truffles
Tuber magnatum
Widely regarded as the most sought-after truffle species, Tuber magnatum is prized for its intense aroma and remarkable complexity. Harvested for only a short period each autumn, White Truffles are found in select regions of Southern and Eastern Europe.
Truffle Pig sources its White Winter Truffles primarily from Italy and Croatia, working with trusted specialists throughout the season. Their unmistakable aroma, often described as garlicky, honeyed and earthy, makes them best enjoyed simply, shaved fresh over pasta, eggs and risotto.
SEASON: MAY - AUG
Black Summer Truffles
Tuber aestivum
Found throughout the woodlands of Europe, Black Summer Truffles are harvested from late spring through summer and are valued for their delicate aroma and subtle, nutty flavour. Truffle Pig sources its Black Summer Truffles from carefully selected suppliers across Europe to ensure quality and seasonal availability.
Characterised by notes of hazelnut, wild mushroom and fresh woodland earth, they are a versatile ingredient that pairs well with pasta, eggs, poultry, seafood and vegetable dishes, delivering a gentle introduction to fresh truffles.
