The summer black truffle (Tuber aestivum) is a prized variety of truffle that grows mainly in broadleaf forests, particularly beneath oaks and beeches. Harvesting typically takes place from May to September, which is why it is known as the "summer" truffle. Unlike the winter black truffle, the summer black truffle has a lighter outer skin and a less intense, yet still aromatic scent, with notes reminiscent of hazelnut and damp earth.
This truffle is highly valued in cooking for its versatility and its ability to enhance the flavor of many dishes, from simple omelets to elaborate gourmet recipes. Interestingly, summer black truffles are not only a culinary delicacy but also an ecological indicator of healthy, biodiverse soils. Their symbiotic relationship with tree roots helps improve the health of the soil and surrounding plants.
Truffle hunters, often accompanied by trained dogs, are part of a centuries-old tradition that blends skill, knowledge of the land, and deep respect for nature.
SESSA TARTUFI: TRADITION, PASSION AND FLAVOR FROM SOUTHERN ITALY
Sessa Tartufi, founded in 1990 by Michele and Raffaele Sessa in Southern Italy, is a family-owned company dedicated to the selection, production, and promotion of high-quality truffles. Born from a deep-rooted passion and years of experience in the field, Sessa Tartufi blends traditional values with modern sustainability, offering products that express the rich and unique heritage of the Italian South.
What began in a small truffle workshop in Alessandria soon became a lifelong pursuit. Michele’s early fascination with truffles grew into a professional journey that led him, along with his brother, to explore the underground treasures of their native land. This passion, paired with a commitment to quality, gave life to a company that celebrates one of Italy’s most prized ingredients.
With the involvement of the next generation, Mirko and Gianfranco, the Sessa family continues to innovate by combining time-honored techniques with new technologies for truffle harvesting, research, and transformation. Their mission remains unchanged: to preserve the traditions of Southern Italy while introducing a renewed and evolving truffle culture.
Sessa Tartufi is more than a brand. It is a story of family, craftsmanship, and a land where flavor and authenticity are part of everyday life.
