world famous truffle (underground marsupial fungus) can be explained by two facts: it is a very rare product and its flavor and aroma make such a powerful impression that remembered from the first time of a lifetime.Truffle flavor - is the apotheosis of all the smells that we like in the autumn forest: all the finest flavors of fallen leaves, wet earth and the trees, all the musky notes of humus - it's all there in the truffle, only increased by several times.
aroma of fresh truffles is so strong that some chiefs, by their own admission, headache, if they have to be cleaned and cut a lot of mushrooms at a time.But precisely because of this flavor truffles and loved.This is the best and most refined culinary "perfume" of all.
Truffles (Tuberales) belong to the group of so-called underground marsupials fungal fruiting body that develops underground, at a depth of 30 cm. As they grow, nobody saw.Even those who collect them from generation to generation.Because all life truffle goes underground and is completely dependent on the trees or shrubs whose roots are real breadwinners of these fungi by sharing reserves of carbohydrates.
main conditions for the growth of truffles are the warm climate of the temperate zone and mixed forest.These conditions correspond to the central part of Russia, Crimea, many places in Spain, Portugal, southern Germany, Croatia, France and Italy.In fact, in all these areas, and they are.There they are on the Pacific Coast, in the forests of California, Australia and North Africa - Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia.
rules in the kingdom of truffle - two.The first - a white Italian truffle, specialties of the Piedmont region, is extremely rare.Any Italian will say that he is better than others.And it will be both human and no.Its flavor is so subtle and varied that one can devote to it is a cookbook.
second - his eternal rival - Black Perigord.If you compare them, although this is not entirely correct, but from such a comparison would not leave white Piedmontese gives a vivid, almost non-negotiable composition of odors associated with the concept of "dolce vita" is stronger than the brand "Gucci" and a scooter "Vespa ", while perigorets - a moment of reflection.Combinations of different products with white truffle is always spectacular as the fireworks, while the black, some of them may seem unforgettable, others monstrous, the third - commonplace.Due to the diversity of smell black truffle it is equally good as with veal and chocolate.
White truffles - the most expensive delicacies in the world, it is easy getting around the price not just caviar and foie gras, but even gold (if you count the cost per gram of product).It is not surprising that such rarities sold at auction.The first truffle market (Fiera del Tartufo) began in Alba even in the 1930s, and later supplemented their truffle auction where the best specimens for desperate chefs are traded the most famous European restaurants.Chiefs can understand - paying a hefty sum for truffles, and then serves them can be sold for a price that covers all costs.For example, the famous British chef Gordon Ramsay serves in his restaurant Maze pizza with white truffle 100 pounds.
