The summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) is an alternative to the winter truffle to continue enjoying this ingredient during the summer months. It is very similar to white truffle only that, coming from less demanding soils, it also has a softer and more delicate flavor.
The summer truffle season is between May and September approximately, although the months when you will find the best of these truffles are July and August. The hotter they are, the better quality they will be. However, you should know that, from June onwards, you can already buy quality summer truffles.
Truffs are also available for sale
Summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) Fresh
One or more fresh truffles (Tuber aestivum) picked with the help of truffle dogs and that will arrive at your home in 24/48 hours with maximum freshness and aroma. The entire process from collection to delivery to your home has been controlled by the Trufbox team of specialists to guarantee the traceability and quality of the product.
The summer truffle is aromatic, but its flavor is milder than that of the white truffle (Tuber magnatum). In that sense, it is quite similar to the flavor of the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum). The interior of summer truffle is fleshy, has a roasted malt-like odor and its flavor can be compared to nuts such as hazelnuts or walnuts. It will bring a slightly sweet aroma to your dishes. They also have benefits thanks to their nutrients, which are practically the same as those of white truffles and black truffles. They are rich in minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and selenium; so they are healthy for the skeletal-muscular and nervous system. They do not have much sodium, so they contribute to maintain blood pressure. They also carry vitamin B, especially B2 and B3; necessary for the conversion of nutrients into energy

How to preserve Truffle and how to freeze Truffle
The truffle at room temperature runs the risk of oxidizing losing its properties so it is advisable to refrigerate.
Like the black truffle, it is dark on the outside. However, it has more pyramidal shapes on its surface. Inside, it is lighter in color, while the interior of the black truffle is purplish black with white veins. In addition, the summer truffle is more fleshy. Its flavor is milder than winter truffle, making it a slight flavor enhancer in dishes
The habitat in which both truffles grow is practically the same: Mediterranean forests. Although they require the same type of soil and substrate, the summer truffle is not as demanding and grows well in the heat. This makes it possible to find the truffle aestivum at a lower price.

You can integrate summer truffles in the same recipes as black truffles, although we recommend not mixing them with other stronger ingredients, because, having a milder flavor, they would lose their prominence
Thus, you can simply try them with toasted bread and extra virgin olive oil. It is also possible to add some laminated truffle to rice or pasta dishes. They also combine perfectly with artichokes, leeks, cardoons and borage.
Eggs
For a more intense aroma, you can place the eggs, without breaking them, in a closed container with a fresh summer truffle. Store them in the refrigerator 48 hours before consuming them. The eggshell is slightly porous, so it will absorb the aroma of the truffle.
Prepare the eggs in the refrigerator for 48 hours before eating them
Prepare the fried eggs as usual, but place them on a hot plate once fried and slice the truffle over the eggs. You will see that the truffle will change texture and will impregnate the eggs.
The other types of truffle can be used with almost any cheese. However, summer truffle is not. Opt for a mild one, such as Brie or goat cheese
Cut the cheese into thick slices and place grated truffle between two slices, as if you were making sandwiches. Dip them in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs. Fry them in very hot oil and then put them on absorbent paper to remove the excess
We recommend you to buy the carpaccio meat already ready, so it will be safer. Put 300 grams of carpaccio and add juice of half a lemon, oil, salt, pepper and chopped garlic. Let it macerate for 24 hours. Serve with 50 grams of cured Patamulo sheep cheese (or a similar one, such as Grana Padano) and 50 grams of grated truffle. You can decorate with about 50 grams of sprouted onion sprouts.
Use 100 g of spaghetti and 5 g of truffle per person. Cook the spaghetti al dente and add the truffle, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, a trickle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Use 400 ml of cream and 5 grams of truffle for every 250 grams of tagliatelle. While cooking the pasta, heat the cream with salt until it boils. Then, add the grated truffle and keep it warm until you serve it with the pasta.
As you can see, cooking with summer truffle is very easy. I'm sure you will soon invent more recipes with it and you will see that your pasta sauces and risottos will not be the same. Enjoy this delicacy!
