Fresh Bagnoli Truffle – Tuber mesentericum

What is Tuber mesentericum?
Tuber mesentericum is an edible European black truffle species commonly known as the Bagnoli truffle. It develops underground in association with suitable host trees and is recognised by its dark, warty exterior and marbled interior.
Aroma and flavour
The Bagnoli truffle has a pronounced earthy aroma that can include phenolic and slightly bitter notes. Its aromatic character is stronger and more distinctive than that of milder black truffle species, so it is often used in measured quantities.
Season and availability
Fresh Tuber mesentericum is generally available during autumn and early winter. Exact availability depends on the growing region, weather conditions and annual harvest. Current stock and pack sizes are shown on the individual product pages.
Culinary uses
Bagnoli truffles can be thinly sliced or grated over pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, meat dishes and sauces. Their pronounced aroma works particularly well with simple ingredients and creamy preparations. Add the truffle near the end of cooking or over a warm finished dish.
A and B grades
A-grade truffles are selected for their appearance, maturity and overall presentation. B-grade truffles may have a less regular shape or minor surface imperfections but remain suitable for sauces, fillings, slicing, grating and other culinary preparations.

The Distinctive Character of Tuber mesentericum
Tuber mesentericum is distinguished by its dark, warty exterior, marbled interior and pronounced aromatic profile with earthy, phenolic and slightly bitter notes.
Because its aroma can be more assertive than that of milder black truffles, it is best introduced gradually and paired with simple ingredients such as eggs, potatoes, pasta, risotto, meat dishes and creamy sauces.
Choose A grade for presentation-focused dishes or B grade for sauces, fillings, slicing, grating and other culinary preparations.
