Black Truffle Uncinato: characteristics

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

The Black Uncinato is very similar to the Scorzone, but has some characteristics that differ from this type:
-the outer 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 mature, and it is crossed by very branched white veins;
-its shape is variable, it can be rounded 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, it may have external scratches or other imperfections that, on the other hand, certify its naturalness.

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