Buy autumn truffle (Tuber uncinatum) The Tuber Uncinatum is highly valued in the market due to its scarcity and flavor. When we talk about truffles, the most common one that comes to mind is the Tuber melanosporum or black truffle, probably the most known and valued. Those more knowledgeable may consider other alternatives, such as white truffle or summer truffle, but few know the Tuber uncinatum, also known as gray truffle, from Burgundy, or by its harvesting season, autumn. The autumn truffle is very similar in size to the summer truffle, although the color of its flesh is a bit darker, ranging from black to grayish, and its interior varies from light yellow to various shades of brown. The skin has a pyramidal shape. Other characteristics that distinguish it from the Tuber aestivum are its perfume and flavor, which are much more intense. Thus, the aroma of the autumn truffle evokes boletus, hazelnuts, butter, and spices. Availability and campaigns to buy Uncinatum truffle The Tuber uncinatum is marketed from September to November, thus occupying the season that the summer truffle leaves free before the black truffle season begins. Although the autumn truffle also grows in Spain, it is mainly found in other European countries, as it requires fewer hours of light and more humidity than what the Mediterranean climate provides. What is the price of the autumn truffle? The fact that it is a wild truffle affects its availability in the market, causing the price to vary, ranging from 600 to 1200 euros per kilo. Furthermore, this scarcity has made it one of the most valued. When there are good harvesting campaigns, prices can drop and range from €150 to €500 per kilo.
