The Finest Black Truffle is considered the most prized of the various black truffle varieties and has an exquisite flavor that is most evident after cooking. In Piedmont, the harvest takes place from December 15th to March 15th.<\/p><p>RECOMMENDED USE<br\/>The Piedmontese Black Truffle is also excellent raw, but is usually consumed after a short cooking time. It can be used as an ingredient in game, roasts, beef fillets, escalopes, poultry with truffles (see image &#8220;Capon stuffed with Black Truffle&#8221;), pasta dishes, and even pizza.<\/p><p>ALBA TARTUFI, your Gourmet Truffle&#8230; Buy now!<\/p><p><br><br><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" style=\"background-color: #545d5c; color: #ffffff;\">Buy now<\/a><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Piedmont&#8217;s Finest Black Truffle, also known as &#8220;Tuber Melanosporum Vittadini&#8221; or &#8220;Black Winter Truffle,&#8221; is probably the most well-known truffle in international cuisine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":995811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-995813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
