What is the Summer truffle?
The Summer truffle (Tuber aestivum var. uncinatum) is very similar to the winter truffle although milder in flavour. For this reason wholesale prices are much lower and are generally £200-300/kg. However, the summer truffle is much more at home in cooler climates and in the UK has been reported to have been found as far north as Scotland!
