Tuber mesentericum is a fresh seasonal truffle species characterised by a dark exterior, dark internal flesh with contrasting pale veins and a distinctive aromatic profile. It is commonly sold as Bagnoli Truffle and is used in a range of savoury culinary applications.

Tuber mesentericum is commonly known as Bagnoli Truffle and is also referred to as Petrol Truffle or Bagnoli Black Truffle. Tuber mesentericum is the scientific name used throughout the product pages.

The grade describes the commercial selection of the fresh truffles, including characteristics such as individual size, shape, physical condition and presentation. Grade does not define the species and does not by itself guarantee a particular aroma intensity.

No. A higher commercial grade primarily reflects physical selection, size, shape, condition and presentation. Aroma intensity varies naturally according to maturity, harvest conditions, storage and the individual truffle.

Choose the grade according to the intended use. Higher presentation grades are generally more suitable when whole-truffle appearance, slicing or tableside presentation is important, while other grades may be more appropriate for sauces, fillings, grated preparations and general culinary use.

The appropriate quantity depends on the number of portions, the recipe and how prominently the truffle will be used. Choose from the available pack sizes shown on the product page according to your intended culinary use.

Store fresh Tuber mesentericum at approximately +2°C to +4°C immediately after delivery. Wrap each truffle in clean, dry absorbent paper, place the wrapped truffles in a clean, closed glass container and replace the paper daily or whenever it becomes damp.

Fresh Tuber mesentericum should be consumed as soon as possible. For the best aroma, flavour and texture, use it preferably within 5–8 days depending on its condition when received. This period is guidance rather than a guaranteed shelf life.

Clean the truffle gently shortly before use and remove surface soil without unnecessarily damaging the exterior. Do not wash, slice, shave or grate the truffle until shortly before preparation. It may then be sliced, shaved or grated according to the dish.

Fresh Tuber mesentericum can be paired with pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, seasonal vegetables, sauces and selected meat dishes. Balanced seasoning is recommended so that the distinctive natural aroma of the truffle remains noticeable.
