One of the many reasons for visiting Umbria also undoubtedly includes the region’s impressive culinary heritage, and one of the finest local delicacies is certainly the truffle<\/strong>, which comes in many varieties.<\/p>\n

Overall there are approximately 10 regional varieties, from the black or Norcia truffle<\/strong>, to the white truffle<\/strong>, and even the summer black truffle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s have a look at Umbrian truffles, at least the best-known varieties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BLACK TRUFFLE OF NORCIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The black truffle, or the truffle of Norcia, is certainly the best known and is plentiful in Umbria.<\/p>\n

It is in season from November to March and is particularly common in the Valnerina<\/strong> area, but also in the hills of Trevi<\/strong> and Mount Subasio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They measure between two and eight centimetres. The outer layer is black and rough, while the pulp ranges from black to purple with very fine white veins.<\/p>\n

It is highly appreciated in the kitchen for its intense fragrance and its highly unique and unmistakeable flavour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHITE TRUFFLE OF UMBRIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The white truffle of Umbria is also particularly fine and rarer than the black variety.<\/p>\n

It is harvested from October to December or January and grows in the Upper Tiber Valley<\/strong> and in the areas of Gubbio<\/strong> and Orvieto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It can even grow quite big, the colour of the outer layer ranges from white to yellow. The inside is more of a nut colour, with a strong fragrance and equally intense flavour.<\/p>\n

To fully enjoy it, it must be used raw, possibly in shavings over the dishes it is enhancing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SUMMER BLACK TRUFFLE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Among the varieties of Umbrian truffle, the summer black truffle is considered to be lower quality, yet very common and widely used to flavour cheeses<\/strong> and cold cuts<\/strong> or to prepare tasty sauces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is harvested mainly in the summer, but also in the fall.<\/p>\n

The outer layer is rough, black with shades of brown, inside it ranges from brown to nut colour with a light shade of very fine veins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
