Fresh Winter Black Truffle

The fresh Winter Black Truffle (tuber melanosporum Vitt.) is also known by the French as the Perigord black truffle.
It is very pleasant on the nose, both its aroma and taste recall that of chocolate.
The gleba (internal pulp) is black-brown but once fully ripe it becomes completely black tending towards purplish or reddish. The whitish veins are thin and dense with a branched pattern.
The peridium (external rind) has a warty surface, with pyramidal warts with depressed apex that adhere strongly to the gleba. The color of the peridium varies from brown/reddish to black.
