Among wild mushrooms, truffles still hold their own as a delicacy that conjures images of truffle hunters and snuffling pigs hot on the trail of these aromatic treats. Truffles mushrooms (that are subterranean) are usually round, warty and irregular in shape. They range in size and have been found as small as marbles and as large as fists.
Among wild mushrooms in Oregon, the Oregon truffle, both black and white, has done very well for itself rivaling its Italian cousin in popularity and availability. James Beard himself proclaimed the mature Oregon white truffle to be a viable and perfectly reputable substitute for European varieties. A long history in truffle research is the foundation of Oregon’s young but thriving truffle industry.
Oregon Mushrooms is the place for fresh truffles, both black and white species native to the West Coast. We go in search of black Oregon truffles from October through March while our hunt for white Oregon truffles takes place from November to May, or sometimes February through June (rainy season dependent).

Any residual soil covering the truffle provides a
protective layer that conserves flavor and aroma, and even allows the
truffle to continue its ripening.
Of course, upon cooking, the truffle should be thoroughly cleaned.
Besides general rules of food hygiene, the truffle has to be cleaned
because its outer peel (peridium) is never thrown away. Like with the inner mass (gleba) the truffle’s peel has flavor and aroma.
Proper Way To Clean Fresh Truffles
• For starters always wash your hands before handling truffles. Truffles quickly absorb outside smells
• Rinse the truffle under cold running water for about 30 seconds. Rinse only a few minutes before use.
(If you have a large sized truffle only rinse the portion of truffle you intend to use)
• Gently brush the truffle with an unused tooth-brush, nail-brush, or any other similar bristle and soft brush.
• Pat dry the truffle with white absorbent paper towel.
• Slice paper-thin, grind, or chop the truffle if ready to commence
cooking or serve meal. Differently, immediately store away the truffle.

| Fresh Black Summer Truffles |
The Black Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum/unicinatum) thrives in northern Italy, central Europe and the UK but also grows in Turkey and North Africa. It is highly valued for its culinary uses. Summer truffles do not have as strong an aroma or taste as winter truffles do. They are mainly harvested from June to November . These truffles grow in symbiosis with trees such as oaks, hazels and beech. Their shape is generally round, up to 4 cm diameter
This truffle had a mouthwatering sweetness that some have described as chocolaty. Do not cook it, shave it onto your dish after cooking. Right before serving the dish.
White or black paper-thin truffle slices may be inserted into meats, under the skins of roasted fowl, in foie gras preparations, in pâtés, or in stuffings. Some specialty cheeses contain truffles as well.
The flavour of black truffles is far less pungent and more refined than that of white truffles. It is reminiscent of fresh earth and mushrooms, and when fresh, their scent fills a room almost instantly. In 2006, designer Tom Ford released a perfume that lists black truffle as its first note. While in the past chefs used to peel truffles, in modern times most restaurants brush the truffle carefully and shave it or dice it with the skin on so as to use most of this expensive ingredient. A few restaurants, such as Philippe Rochat in Switzerland, still stamp out circular discs of truffle flesh and use the skins for sauces.
