Fresh Italian White Winter Truffles (Tuber Magnatum pico) truffles have an intense, pungent aroma and flavor that is a complex mix of earthy and garlicky, often with hints of hazelnuts or other nuts. Often times a delicate balance of an amazing cheese and caramelized nutty sweetness is present. They are best enjoyed raw shaved over risotto/pasta, paring magnificently with fats like butter/EVOO. The earthy, pungent notes are balanced by a delicate, nutty sweetness.
White truffles are the only type of truffle that can't be cultivated and are only available for a couple months out of the year; making them the most rare truffle in the world.
