Uncinato Black Truffle: characteristics

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

The Uncinato is very similar to the Scorzone, but has some characteristics that differ from this type:
-the outer part (called peridium) is warty, however, made up 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 mature, and is crossed by very branched white veins;
-its shape is variable, it can be round but also flattened;
-its size varies from that of a walnut to that of a tennis ball, and is generally smaller than that of the Scorzone.

Being a product that grows spontaneously, it can vary greatly in shape and size, and may show external scratches or other imperfections that, on the contrary, certify its naturalness.

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