White Truffle: The King of the Table from September Onwards

The prized white truffle, scientifically known as Tuber magnatum Pico, is considered the diamond of Italian cuisine. It is the rarest, most aromatic, and most expensive truffle, harvested exclusively during a limited season: from September until the end of December, and sometimes beyond, if weather conditions allow. At Costy Tartufi in Campobasso, we carefully select the finest specimens of Molise white truffle every year, offering an unparalleled sensory experience.

Tuber magnatum Pico: unique characteristics

The white truffle is instantly recognizable thanks to:

• Smooth skin in ochre-yellow tones, sometimes with greenish hues.
• Flesh (gleba) in light hazelnut color with very fine white veins.
• An intense and unmistakable aroma, with notes of garlic, aged cheese, and honey.
• A bold, lingering flavor, capable of elevating even the simplest dishes.
• It is a truffle for true connoisseurs, used sparingly yet able to take center stage with its regal fragrance.

When can you find white truffle?

The ideal season for Tuber magnatum Pico is autumn, from September to December, but nature follows its own rhythm every year. The rainfall and cool climate of Molise’s woodlands create the perfect conditions for this extremely rare underground fungus to grow. In the Campobasso area and its surroundings, thanks to the abundance of oaks, willows, and poplars, the white truffle finds its ideal habitat. Costy Tartufi is committed to ethical and sustainable harvesting, working with expert truffle hunters and trained dogs.
