Summer Truffle Carpaccio

The Az.Agr. La Spora has dedicated itself for generations, with passion, to truffle hunting in the Abruzzo region, on the border between Abruzzo and Molise, land of Apennine truffles: this is where the Summer Truffle Carpaccio is born. A specialty prepared with summer truffle: one of the easiest species to find, and the most abundant. It has a long harvesting period, and summer truffle is widespread all over the world. It has an aroma reminiscent of porcini mushrooms, with hints of hazelnut and undergrowth. Its intensity increases with maturation. It has a delicate flavour, leaving a pleasant, non-invasive aftertaste. This truffle prefers calcareous, well-drained soils and grows mainly in symbiosis with oaks, hazels, hornbeams and lime trees.
