The different truffle

The different truffle species are determined according to their morphological characteristics, such as shape, size, colour, texture of the peridium, aspect of the gleba, smell and flavour.
In the laboratory, species are determined through the analysis of the spores or biomolecular analysis.

63 species of fungi worldwide have been classified as Tuber. In Italy, there are 25, but only 9 are edible and only 6 are widely available on the market:

• Tuber magnatum Pico (White Truffle of Alba or of Acqualagna or prestigious white truffle)


• Tuber melanosporum Vitt. (Black truffle of Norcia or prestigious black truffle)


• Tuber aestivum Vitt. (Scorzone)


• Tuber borchii Vitt. (Bianchetto or Marzuolo)


• Tuber brumale Vitt. (Winter)


• Tuber macrosporum Vitt. (Smooth black).
