Summer truffle season is here again

Summer truffle season is here!
The black summer truffle thrives in northern Italy, central Europe and does grow in North Africa and Turkey. It is highly valued by chefs for its culinary uses mainly aroma and distinct flavour. Summer truffles do not have as strong an aroma or taste as winter truffles do. They are mainly harvested from June to November. Currently we shave it on green asparagus risotto and jullienne it on a Challans black leg chicken dish.
For me the smell is addictive and i cant resist a whiff every time i hold one. Priveleged?? You bet!!
