Also known as the Scorzone, the Black Summer Truffle may not be as prized as the winter Black Diamond, but its more delicate aromatic characteristics, its availability in summer, and its gentler price point make it the ideal truffle for the warmer months and for foodies who like to experiment with new food combinations.

Aroma/Taste
More delicate in aroma and flavor than the more robust and precious Black Winter Truffle, it is sweeter and less musky, with woodsy and nutty tones.
