The most-highly sought after black truffle, the Perigord (tuber melanosporum) is known to be stronger in smell and taste than the truffles harvested in summer. Due to limited supply and high demand, this precious fungi is rarely sold fresh in the U.S.A. With their smoky aroma and rich flavor our fresh winter truffles are the ultimate addition to a fine dining entrée. As the season draws to a close our black winter inventory is limited. Get this rare seasonal product before it's too late.

• Tuber Melanosporum, called the black truffle, Périgord truffle or French black truffle, is a species of truffle native to Southern Europe. It is one of the most expensive edible mushrooms in the world.
• The fruiting bodies exude a scent reminiscent of undergrowth, strawberries, wet earth or dried fruit with a hint of cocoa. Their taste, which fully develops after the truffles are heated, is slightly peppery and bitter.
• If stored at room temperature, the aromatic compounds dissipate, while storage at around the freezing point (0 °C) leads to an increased synthesis of these compounds.
