Description

The “Tuber melanosporum vitt”, commonly called the Tartufo nero, or black truffle, of Norcia , can be found primarily in the Apennine Mountains located between Umbria, the Marche and Abruzzo. The truffles grow at altitudes between 650 to 4,000 ft, in the high hills or mountains, and more specifically in areas exposed to the sun and nearby other plants – most often oak, but also hornbeam, hazelnut and holm oak. 

Black truffles vary in size. On average, they are 2 to 3.5 in wide and weigh between 1.3 to 1.5 lbs. They are typically round in shape with lumps ranging in number and in size.  

The aroma of the black truffle is pleasingly intense and many people prefer it to that of a white truffle. Its flavor is hard to alter regardless of the cooking method or how it is conserved.
