Truffle
The truffle might be the most delicious product which has been produced by nature. This delicacy is extremely rare and is known for its intense aroma and flavour. The truffle cannot be cultivated and only grows in the wild at underground tree roots where a symbiosis occurs: the perfect circumstances for growing truffles.
Availability fresh truffles
Origin
Around the beginning of the 19th century, French haute cuisine was claiming that truffle was a French product. That is why it was long thought that truffle is a French product, but in reality most truffles come from Italy and Spain. Pigs or dogs are trained to detect underground truffles.
