The White Summer Truffle (often referred to in Italy as the Marzuolo or Bianchetto truffle) grows in similar regions to the white winter truffle but matures in late winter and spring. It features a paler interior, smooth skin, and a significantly softer, sweeter fragrance.
Because of its milder aroma and more abundant harvest window, it is highly affordable and provides a perfect introduction for people experiencing fresh truffles for the first time. It is widely used in creamy pasta sauces, compound butters, and delicate egg yolk emulsions.
