Summer just kicked off and that means the appearance of the summer truffle (Tuber aestivum), a species of truffle, found in almost all European countries.

As their name suggests, summer truffles are harvested from May to August. They are most often found in the southern part of the distribution area of the species, notably in the Mediterranean climate areas of France, Italy and Spain.

With its nutty flavor, when added to eggs, pasta or meat, truffles are a special treat, that can elevate any dish.
