The Moss truffle, is our name for Tuber Brumale. In Europe Tuber Brumale is known as the "winter truffle", but can be confused by its appearance and similar time of harvest to that of the French Perigord truffle. Though the Moss truffle resembles that of The French Perigord truffle, it has a more delicate skin, and when washed, its skin can be flaked away. The sooner the Moss truffle is eaten, the better it tastes, as with the majority of European truffles. The Moss truffle has a subtle flavor of freshly cut moss, but if is kept to long, this pleasant aroma can turn into that of tar. |  |
