Season:from January to April

Origin: Istria

The Istrian Bianchetti Tuber Albidium Pico is one of the most renowned in the world, and gourmets and culinary connoisseurs are increasingly attracted by this amazing truffle.

It is inferior to its white cousin but the taste intensifies when exposed to heat.

Its skin (peridium) is smooth and ochre yellow or olive yellow in colour, and sometimes it can reveal a more rustic cracked area or light red spots. The gleba (fleshy inner mass) is firm and soapy in structure, at the beginning whitish and then pale yellow, ochre brown, reddish brown, streaked with many thin white lines.

Intensive in scent and strong flavor.
