Tuber Uncinatum Chatin

Hunting season: 1st September – 1st December

Its shape is slightly more irregular than the Melanosporum’s, but its aspect is pretty similar: the Uncinatum may be considered the continuation of the Black Summer Truffle, but different in flavour and with a more intense scent.

The trees with which it bonds mostly are oaks, pine trees.
