vitalongaSummer black truffle, also called “scorzone”, finds its natural habitat in our estate, because it prefers sandy-clayey soil and forests of holm oaks, downy oaks and turkey oaks.
It can reach remarkable dimensions with characteristics similar to those of black truffles. The outer surface has dark pyramidal warts and an intense aromatic perfume. It is very appreciated by our chefs and used in our dishes when seasonally available. As their name suggests, summer truffles are harvested from late May to late August.
This is an easy recipe but it will be successful only if you have fresh truffles!

Carefully clean the truffle with a bristled brush to remove any ground residues. Boil the water with plenty of sea salt, cook the pasta according to the directions, drain and season with butter, parmesan cheese and plenty of thick slices of truffle cut with the truffle shaver.
