Summer Black Italian Truffles - Brushed First Choice(more) »rank: 6149from: Gourmet Food StoreOur review: :When the fresh truffle season ends (yes, a dark day indeed in kitchens around the world), we're thankful that there is an alternative to get our truffle fix.

Summer truffles will not be very striking out of the jar, and will need to be heated up or cooked with to bring out the flavors. Best for used in hot dishes like risottos, omelettes and mashed potatoes. The heat of the dish itself ... Detail |
