• White Winter Alba Truffles
Names: White Winter Truffles, White Alba Truffles
Species:Magnatum Pico
Season:October to end of year.
The most prized and valued of all truffles! Aroma so pungent and garlick-y with hints of cheese and earth, that its undeniably intoxicating. Knobby with a smooth exterior and firm flesh that is from cream to chestnut colour with white marbling. Enjoy this white truffle purely raw atop simple dishes and complements wonderfully with butter. Cooking it will lose more aroma.

Species:Tuber Aestivum
Season: Late spring to late summer.
Coarse exterior and ivory to pale brown interior with intricate veins. Delicate hazelnut and woodsy aromas. Mild and fresh flavour. Best used in light dishes and shaved very thinly. Less expensive than the cousin Perigord truffle - so you can shave more!
