TRUFFLES - Known as the diamonds of the culinary world, truffles are prized all over the world for their pungent aroma and distinct flavor. A short season makes truffles all the more valuable, causing farmers across Italy and France to go into a truffle frenzy to find these delicious tubers. France is most famous for its black truffle, or the Perigord Truffle, while Italy has been culinary blessed with the white truffle, also known the Piedmont or Alba Truffle.
Black Truffles: While there are many truffle varieties growing in countries all over the world, black truffles (Tuber Melanosporium) known in France as the Divine Tubercule and The Black Diamond of French Cuisine, are the most famous truffles in the world and due to their scarcity, can command very high prices in the marketplace. Truffles are the best known underground fungi because of their reputation for excellence in cuisine, being savored in Italian and French dishes for its aromatic, richly mysterious flavor. The limestone plateau regions of Perigord in the southwest of France, and Magny are the world-famous homes of these prized fungi, but are also found southeast of France, in Italy and Spain and are well known for flavoring pate de foie gras. White truffles gathered in Alba, Italy, are highly valued as well and are also dear in price.
There are well over 60 different varieties of truffle and some do grow wild in the United States, but the two choice varieties are unequivocally the black and white truffles mentioned here, native only to specific regions of Europe. The unusual flavor of a truffle is pervasive in a enigmatic way; this breathtaking subtlety of taste, its penetrating, sweet musty odor is one of the reasons that truffles are so prized by mushroom lovers.
