San Juan Truffle
TUBER AESTIVUM VITT
Description
It is a wonderful and stylish fungus, slightly well-known and considered by general public since it tends to be compared with the Tuber melanosporum or winter black truffle. Although both are tuber genre, they are different species, each one of them are provided with own and specific characteristics.
If the black truffle is the black diamond in the kitchen, the black gold from the Aragonese field, the summer truffle is the undiscovered Pearl.
Its harvest time is from ends of May up to ends of August. Its shape is irregular, and its size is very variable. Black on the outside, and white / yellowish shades inside, with white seams as those in its winter sister. Its aroma is subtler than the melanosporum but equally very distinctive, recalling almonds, hazelnuts and, in general, tree nuts with toasty nuances. Its flavor is elegant and more resistant to heat than other truffles.
This truffle is much used in fillings, fish, vegetables and salads. It stands heat better so we can cook it, since it leaves more taste than other truffles.
Try and use it in your kitchen, its quality and price will allow you to enrich your more elaborate dishes.
