Black Uncinato Truffle: characteristics

The Black Uncinato Truffle owes its name to the particular shape of its spores which, when observed under a microscope, show small filaments resembling hooks.

The Uncinato resembles the Scorzone quite closely, but has some characteristics that differ from this type:
-the external part (called peridium) is warty, consisting of less pronounced black warts than those of the Scorzone;
-the flesh (called gleba) is darker than that of the Scorzone, almost chocolate-colored when the truffle is very ripe, and is marked by very branched white veins;
-its shape is variable, it can be round but also flattened;
-its dimensions range from that of a walnut to that of a tennis ball, and are generally smaller than those of the Scorzone.

As it is a product that grows spontaneously, it can vary greatly in shape and size, it may present external scratches or other imperfections that, on the other hand, certify its naturalness.

Storage methods: the Black Uncinato Truffle can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 to 15 days between 2° and 6°, wrapped in absorbent paper.
