The freshest truffles direct from Europe!
Though not as famous, big, expensive, or white as the White Alba Truffle, the Bianchetto truffle (aka Tuber Borchii Vittadini, Tuscany white truffle, Italian spring white truffle) offers a similar flavor. This flavor is difficult to describe to someone who hasn’t had an Italian white truffle before, but is often referred to as sharp, earthy, garlicky and/or cheesy.
Bianchetto truffle season generally follows the end of white Alba season too, so if you missed Albas…you’re probably just in time for the Bianchettos!
Bianchetto truffles are usually about 15 grams in weight (roughly the size of quail eggs). Because their outer skin is darker than Albas (generally brown to dark orange), they are also known as “whitish truffles.” They can be any of a wide variety of colors: brown, orange, tan, black or anything in between, meaning color is not a good indicator of freshness. Instead, look for a firm texture and a strong truffle aroma.
We usually recommend a serving size of 5-7 grams of fresh truffle per dish per person (roughly 4 servings per ounce).
