Black Truffle Uncinato: characteristics

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

The Black Uncinato closely resembles the Scorzone but has some characteristics that differ from this type:
-the outer part (called peridium) is warty, made up of less pronounced black warts compared to 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 traversed by very branched white veins;
-its shape is variable, it can be round but also flattened;
-its size ranges 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.
