6 Guilt Free Summer Truffle Tips

Oregon Winter White Truffle (Tuber oregonense): When immature, the outer layer (peridium) is white to beige, typically with yellowish to olive to reddish-brown tints. Oregon Spring White Truffle (Tuber gibbosum): The outer layer of this variety is skinny and almost translucent, and is pale olive to brown-yellow with some brown mottling. There are two white varieties: the Oregon Winter White Truffle (Tuber oregonense) and the Oregon Spring White Truffle (Tuber gibbosum), commonly referred to as Oregon White Truffles. The Oregon Winter White Truffle ranges in size from a marble to a golf ball and is irregularly round to potato-formed. Black winter or summer truffles will each work. White truffles have a really pungent aroma with notes of garlic, oil infused with them is rather more powerful than black truffle oil.
