Further information
Types of Truffles: There are several types of truffles, each with its own specific characteristics. The most well-known are the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), the white truffle (Tuber magnatum), and the summer truffle (Tuber aestivum). Each has its own harvest season and unique flavor.
Truffle Value: The truffle is one of the most expensive and sought-after ingredients in the kitchen. Its high price is due to its rarity, seasonality, and intense aroma that can elevate any dish.
Culinary Uses: Truffles are usually grated or sliced thinly and used as a side dish or ingredient in many dishes. They can be added to pasta, eggs, risotto, and even meat or fish dishes to add an inimitable flavor.
Sweet potatoes in history: Sweet potatoes have a long gastronomic history and were prized by the ancient Romans and Egyptians. For centuries, they were considered a delicacy in royal and aristocratic cuisine.
Storing Truffles: Truffles are often preserved in olive oil or salt to preserve their flavor. They must be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness.
