The black truffle, a culinary experience at another level

Underground treasures of nature, black truffles, found in forests among trees such as oaks and hazels, hold culinary secrets that enhance any gastronomic experience.

The black truffle, also known as "Tuber melanosporum", is highly valued in gastronomy for its distinctive flavor and intense aroma. When it is extra brushed, it means that it has been carefully cleaned to remove any surface dirt and maximize its quality.

The limestone soil of certain regions in the southwest of France facilitates wild cultivation, making it another French product consumed in moderation during particular and elegant dates.

The truffle, a hidden treasure and difficult to cultivate

The truffle grows underground in limestone soils, generally near certain trees such as the white oak or the green oak, but also the hazel, the linden, the hornbeam, the pine, the cedar, or the beech. Their rarity and distinctive flavor make these delights true gastronomic jewels. The black truffle, in particular, is known for its intense aroma and unique flavor, making it the embodiment of haute cuisine.

"As they are not part of the daily diet due to their cost and the fact that they are not sold in large quantities, it may seem difficult to make a recipe with truffles, but the truth is that it is as simple as adding a few slices as a finishing touch. Add it to your favorite dish or mix it into a fresh salad with foie gras."

Black truffle flavor

The flavor of the extra brushed black truffle is earthy, complex and slightly fruity, with notes of hazelnut and earth. It has a unique aromatic intensity with a powerful aroma and a more pronounced flavor than unbrushed truffles, making it ideal for enhancing a wide variety of gourmet dishes.
