Summer Truffle Mayonnaise Borgunto — Gourmet Versatility for Every Occasion

The summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) is the most common truffle variety in Italy, harvested from May to September in the wooded areas of the Aretini Hills. Compared to the prized white truffle, it has a more delicate and earthy aroma, but is much more affordable and extraordinarily versatile in the kitchen. Our summer truffle mayonnaise captures its distinctive character in a ready-to-use sauce that transforms any dish into something special.

Summer Truffle vs White Truffle: The Difference

The summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) has a black skin and light-colored flesh with beige hues, a milder and earthier aroma compared to the intensity of the white truffle. Its versatility in the kitchen is greater: it withstands heat better, pairs with a wider range of ingredients, and has an accessible price that makes it ideal for everyday use. It is not an inferior version of the white truffle — it is simply a different variety, with its own culinary personality.

How to Use It

• Gourmet sandwiches and burgers — replaces classic mayonnaise with a refined touch
• Dipping sauce for raw vegetables, potato chips, chicken tenders
• Base for seafood salads and octopus — a classic Tuscan pairing
• Dip for crostini and bruschetta appetizers
• Accompaniment for hard-boiled eggs, boiled asparagus, artichokes
• Seasoning for boiled or baked potatoes — surprising results
