What it is

Black Summer Truffles (Tuber aestivum) are a type of edible fungus found underground, primarily in Europe. They are harvested by trained dogs or pigs and are prized for their intense, earthy aroma and flavor. The truffles are typically shaved or grated fresh over dishes.

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not raised specific concerns regarding their consumption as a food ingredient.
