Is very similar to summer truffle, so much so that some consider it to be a variant of Aestivum. Gleba is darker than nero estivo, almost chocolaty in the more mature truffles.

Tuberous in shape, sometimes divided into lobes, with brown and black skin made of warts, smaller than the white truffle it can reach the size of an apple. It’s flesh is light brown, furrowed with white stripes.

This is the most common sort in Istria harvested almost throughout the year. In comparison with white trufflwe  its smell and taste is less intensive and more subtle.

DESCRIPTION: brown and black skin, streaked with many thin white lines which do not change their colour in contact with air

SOIL : Molecularly it is equal to Aestivum but it prefers shady places

HARVEST PERIOD : from October to December

SYMBIOTIC PLANTS: generally downy oak, Turkey oak, English oak, linden, poplar, willow, hornbeam, common hazel
