The winter white truffle is a rare delicacy that has been celebrated for centuries. There are many varieties of this fungus, but the most prized type is found in Italy and France. The only difference between summer and winter white truffles is that one is harvested in the summer and the other in the winter. It’s pretty much straightforward. This truffle is celebrated for its garlicky flavor, reminiscent of shallots, and also an intense earthy and musky aroma. Fresh white truffles are not pure white, but more of a yellowish color.

Tuber magnatum pico: This truffle is often called a “Piedmont Truffle” or the “White Truffle from Alba” or «Italian White Truffle», which indicates where the truffle originates, not the species of fungi.
