"Black truffles are mud cooked
by lightnings" - Plutarch. Truffle
cultivation remains essentially empirical and small-scale:truffles
are neither sown nor planted. They spring up spontaneouslywhen the
fungal spores encounter the rootlets of an oak tree (oranother
symbiotic species) and form a mycorrhiza, which takes itsnutrients
from the tree; the truffle itself is the fruiting body of
thefungus.
For
gourmands world-wide, truffles are considered to be the
rarediamonds of one's kitchen. They impart their exquisite flavors
to anydish and enhance the natural essence of the food which they
accompany.During cooking, their aromas are further
intensified.
