The Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum Vitt.) is also defined “Scorzone” for its round and particularly thick coating  that allows you to distinguish it from the Black Truffle (Tuber melanosporum vitt.).
Compared to the renowned cousin, the Summer Truffle is considered less valuable and can be found at much lower market prices; however, its scent and taste can give great satisfaction to even the most demanding gourmands.
In Tuscany, the harvest period is between the 1st of June and the 15th of November.
