Summer truffles are black on the outside as their skin is dark and coarse. They have a light hue on the inside, the flesh varies between white, cream color, light brown and dark brown, often depending on the stage of the season (the later into the season the darker they become). They have a delicate, sweet and buttery flavor and aroma with notes of hazelnuts and almonds.
