Description

The Ordinary Black Truffle, also known as Bagnoli, has rounded shape with irregular lobes, sectioned takes on renal appearance.

The average size of this truffle varies from 2 to 10cm and up.

The outer garment (peridium) is blackish or dark brown with warts with polygonal base, less protruding than the brim. The flesh (gleba) is fleshy, initially white-beige then gray with various brown tones.

The aroma of the Black Truffle of Bagnoli is very intense and deep, especially in the newly unearthed specimens, similar to dyeing iodine or phytoxic acid. This characteristic aroma attenuates after cooking or prolonged exposure to air.

This truffle matures in the autumn-winter period, not excluding spring.
