CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLACK TRUFFLE

It has a fleshy and compact body, initially greyish-violet in colour and, at maturity, brownish-blackish with whitish sterile veins, which turn pinkish when in contact with the air.

It has an intense, pungent smell and a pleasant, but slightly bitter taste. Its natural habitat are the forests of southern France, Italy and Spain.
It lives underground, in symbiosis with the roots of holm oaks, oaks and hazelnut trees mainly, although it may also grow around the roots of some pines.

It reproduces in spring, appearing as small balls, which then swell and mature in summer and autumn. Truffles give off allelopathic substances that prevent the growth of weeds around them, and this is sometimes a clue to finding them. It is harvested in winter and the best date is in January (Europe), although the harvesting period starts in December and lasts until March.

The truffle, having undergone ultra-rapid freezing, retains its initial quality and all its properties better. It also makes it last longer when frozen.
