About
Truffles
Gourmets have
treasured "black pearls" for their aroma and taste for 3500 years.
Truffles grow 3-12 inches deep around the roots of chestnut, oak, hazel,
and beech trees. Truffles are just like their cousin the mushroom only
growing under ground instead of above ground.
Humans use specially trained pigs or dogs to sniff out and dig up these
aromatic and priceless delicacies. Though pigs are better at ferreting
out the truffles, dogs are easier to control once they have retrieved
the brown, black or white fungus.
Truffles are literally worth more than their weight in gold.
