Also known as "Scorzone," the summer black truffle (Tuber aestivum) is a black truffle whose nickname derives from its rough and particularly warty rind. It grows in sandy and clay soils, deciduous forests, and in some cases even in pine forests, and is harvested from May to December. What distinguishes it?

• The outer shell – intensely black – is round and thick, consisting of large and hard pyramidal-shaped warts.
• The gleba (flesh) is light-colored: it can vary from beige to ocher to hazelnut.
• The aroma and flavor are the two elements that make the summer truffle unique. A fragrance with fruity notes – less intense and more delicate than other truffles – is released when consumed fresh or slightly heated, for example, grated over hot dishes.
