Favuzzi's black truffles of the Tuber æstivum Vitt. variety, also called summer truffles, come from Italy's Abruzzo region. These rare mushrooms, difficult to cultivate, grow in the soil at the foot of some trees, such as oak trees and hazelnut trees. Once rehydrated, these thin slices of dried black truffle regain the look and texture of a fresh mushroom. Their subtle taste can be enhanced with Favuzzi truffle salt. Soak these dried truffles for 5 minutes in water, cream, milk or broth, then impress your guests by topping your pasta or risotto with these thin slices that will have regained the look of fresh truffles.
