White Spring Truffle
Bianchetto / Tuber Borchii
Tuber Borchii, also known as whitish, white spring truffle, or Bianchetto truffle, is a spring underground mushroom with a firm texture and a strong aroma. This species is usually found in the Mediterranean and Eastern part of Europe.
Some people recognize the aroma as garlicky and earthy or even cheesy. The exterior is slightly velvety and white at first, and when mature, it has a smooth, reddish-ochre surface with brown markings. White, twisted, and branched veins run through the interior.
The size of the Tuber Borchii A-class is 8gr+ whole truffles with minimum scratches.
The Borchii has a long shelf life. But to experience the most robust aroma of the truffle, we recommend using the product within 5-7 days from the purchase. You must store the truffles at around 2-4 degrees.
White truffles are ivory to chestnut in color and, upon inspection, should have an aroma that is overwhelmingly pungent, clean, and sweet, springy to the touch but not soft.
The rich, loamy soil and specific climate conditions in these areas create the perfect environment for producing white truffles with intense, earthy notes and a complex bouquet.
