Tuber uncinatum, known as the Burgundy truffle, is a naturally occurring winter truffle in Poland with an exceptionally elegant, balanced character. Its aroma is more subtle and harmonious than that of the white truffle or the black winter truffle (Tuber melanosporum), making it perfectly suited for modern premium cuisine, where precision, balance, and respect for the product are paramount.
The harvest takes place during the autumn-winter period, often lasting until late winter, when the truffle reaches its peak aromatic equilibrium.

Origin:
The Krakow-Częstochowa Upland is a region with unique soil conditions (limestone soils), appropriate humidity, and natural woodland that favour the occurrence of Tuber uncinatum. The stability of the microclimate ensures that truffles from this area are characterised by:
a clean, natural aroma,
a dense, firm structure,
good transport resistance,
high gastronomic quality.
It is the locality and environmental conditions that define the character of this truffle – elegant, harmonious, and incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

Aromatic and flavour profile:
Aroma:
intense but unobtrusive,
distinctly nutty and earthy,
forest notes, mushrooms, wet wood, and leaf litter.
Flavour:
delicate, elegant,
slightly sweet,
highly harmonious, without aromatic aggression.
Intensity:
medium, ideal for precision cooking and à la carte dishes,
allows for building depth of flavour without dominating the dish.
Appearance and structure:
skin: dark brown to black, finely warty,
flesh: light brown to caramel with characteristic light marbling,
consistency: firm, resilient, perfectly suited for slicing and grating.
Thanks to its dense structure, the truffle holds up very well during precision service and when using a mandoline.
Selection and calibration
Every fruiting body:
is hand-harvested,
dry-cleaned (without the use of water),
visually and aromatically selected,
weight-calibrated in the 25–30 g range.
This weight has been deliberately chosen – it is the ideal size for restaurant service, allowing for full portion control in tasting menus and à la carte dishes.
Culinary application:

as an accent for truffle butter, oil, and delicate cream sauces,
ideal for tasting menus and seasonal menus.
Best used cold or immediately after removing the dish from the heat to preserve the full aroma.

natural and seasonal,
local, yet fully European in character,
