The black summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum) is also called "Truffe de la St-Jean".
It looks like the black winter truffle, if not usually bigger and tougher. Its flesh goes from yellowish to grayish, also with white veins. Best if used fresh. It grows in the same fields as the black winter truffle. Also grows in Spain and Italy. The season starts in May till August, depending on the weather conditions.

The black winter truffle (Tuber Melanosporum), also called the "Perigord" truffle (not a trade name but only a qualification of a kind), is one of the most prestigious truffles: we call it the "Black Diamond of Provence".
More or less of a round shape, the truffle can go up to the size of an apple and even bigger, but usually weights around 2-3oz. Its skin has a pyramidal scale and its flesh goes from grayish to black with thin white veins when mature. A good truffle should be firm and have a black flesh with thin white veins.
The largest production of truffles comes from the South East of France: in Provence. The biggest truffle market takes place in a small village called Richerenches, in Northern Vaucluse: more than a ton of truffles can be traded there in one day! Truffles can also be found in Spain and Italy.
