Its dual name derives from the two main characteristics of this Truffle: the harvest period, from April to November, and the peridium – or the outer part – dotted with characteristic warts. The Scorzone is similar to the Fine Black Truffle but is distinguished by a different, black-grey, and by the characteristic external warts. Its white pulp turns brown with maturation and is recognized by a hazelnut smell when it reaches final maturation. STORAGE DIRECTIONS: The best way to keep the fresh truffles for up to two weeks is keeping them in in a normal domestic fridge, wrapping them one by one in a kitchen paper towel and keeping them in a sealed glass jar not vacuumed and changing the paper towels and allowing fresh air exchange once per day, as truffles are a living body they need to breathe. It is said, truffles can lose up to 3% of their weight daily, so it is important to change the paper towel regularly. Because the fridge is an inherently moist environment, it is important to wrap them in unbleached paper towels to absorb moisture. After receiving your truffles, remove them from their packaging, dry them if any condensation has formed during shipping. For best shelf life, don’t handle them with your hands and use gloves. Place in a dry, sealed container like Tupperware, a glass jar, or a zip lock bag, squeezing as much of the air out as possible. Keep the container in the crisper compartment of your refrigerator avoiding the cooler areas of the fridge.
