The Tuber aestivum (scorzone) is the most common Italian black truffle, gathered between spring and autumn across the centre-north. At 3% it gives the cream a real woodland note, supported by a touch of natural truffle flavouring that stabilises the aroma in the jar. The body of the cream comes from Agaricus bisporus (champignon mushrooms) — the most cultivated mushroom in the world, mild and creamy, that lets the truffle aromatic come through. Parsley and garlic add a lively herbal lift typical of the Italian recipe.
