In principle, for his<strong> value<\/strong> it is considered second only to the Precious White Truffle.<\/p>\n<p>This species, on the outside, appears very irregular; the coating is dark with small warts. The internal shades, on the other hand, are reddish or tending to purple.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Truffle has a delicate scent and<strong> harmonious<\/strong>, sometimes sweet.
