Black Périgord Truffle (Tuber melanosporum)
AKA: Winter Truffle, Black Diamond
Season: Dec - February
Peak Quality: mid-season
Named after the Périgord region of France, where this highly prized subterranean fungus is said to originate, the Black Truffle is extremely fragrant and earthy with an unmistakable flavor that the Japanese refer to only as "umami." In high demand, it is now domestically produced in limited quantities to a quality that is indistinguishable from it's European origin.
