Time to spray the ground with winter truffle soup and rotavate it into the ground. According to my Spanish friends this promotes new root growth and colonisation of truffle mycorrhizae ensues , hoping for a better harvest this year.

Though not as famous as its larger cousin, the legendary White Alba Truffle, the Bianchetto truffle (aka tuber borchii, Italian spring white truffle, Tuscany white truffle) offers a similar flavor. To describe this flavor to someone who hasn’t experienced an Italian white truffle before is difficult at best, however, this truffle is often referred to as sharp, earthy, garlicky and/or cheesy.

Since wild truffle prices are based on supply (always limited) versus demand, an enormous benefit of Bianchetto’s relatively unknown status is that they’re available at a much more affordable price. Bianchetti truffle season generally follows the end of white Alba season too, so if you missed Albas, don’t despair…you’re probably just in time for the Bianchetto’s!

Bianchetto truffles tend to be significantly smaller than white Albas, generally growing to 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.”

Bianchetto truffles are unique in the wild truffle world because they can be any of a wide variety of colors: brown, orange, tan, black or anything in between. Thus, color is not a good indicator of freshness. Instead, look for a firm texture and a strong truffle aroma.

When figuring out how many ounces of fresh European truffles to buy, we usually recommend a serving size of 10 grams of fresh truffle per dish per person.

We said goodbye to our best friend on Monday, she was our first and best truffle hunting dog and such a huge character. We feel lost without her and Bella & Winnie miss her so much, she was the smallest but the ‘boss’ 🌈💔💔💔💔🐶
