Tuber Mesentericum - Bagnoli Truffle

The Bagnoli truffle closely resembles Tuber Aestivum, but is distinguished by its strong phenolic aroma. It has a dark, warty exterior and a firm, whitish flesh. This truffle thrives in symbiosis with oak, beech, birch, and hazel trees, usually appearing in the fall and winter months.

Some people love the strong, bitter taste and aroma of this truffle.

When sliced ​​thinly and added to warm dishes like eggs Benedict, it can please even the most discerning palate.

However, its aroma can be quite pungent, leading to its cheeky nickname: the petrol truffle.
