Marchtruffles (Tuber albidum pico , Tuber borchii vittadini oder Tuber albidum vittadini) are also called Bianchetto.
Its white smooth but irregular skin, it is very similar to the white truffle. His season, however, by the end of December to April. Tastes like a very mature white truffle, but he is a little less intense. Often smaller. Can be depending on soil property of lighter or darker color. Its structure is somewhat softer than the summer truffle, the marbling is, however, more pronounced. Under the not so expensive truffles in the March truffle is certainly the most precious character. March truffle is eaten raw, because cooked evaporates away the last piece truffle scent. He comes in Tuscany mainly in the Maremma. Suitable for all these truffles are classic truffle dishes and still best served simply with browned butter and planed over the finished pasta. Otherwise, the same applies as for all truffles: Just brush off, never wash with water and keep it slightly chilled in a closed jar, and not too long as possible. Takes a look at the truffle recipes for truffles Bianchetti you seem particularly well fit preparations with quail egg and spinach to this special garlic aroma of truffle.
