How are the truffles?

The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) has a longer life cycle than the rest of the mushrooms in the country. It is spherical and its size varies and can reach an average of 5 cm.

Its surface is black and dented in polygonal shapes; and inside, the meat is less intense black or is toasted. It has a very thin blackish skin with violet tones, and its flesh has whitish streaks near the skin.

As a rule, truffles are usually caught in winter, and sometimes it is difficult to identify and catch them, so there are trained dogs that usually do this work. We found no less than 70 different species of truffles, 32 of which are in Europe.

Other benefits of the black truffle have to do with the regeneration of the skin and nails, as well as the growth of hair and mucous membranes. In addition, they have strong antioxidant properties, so they are special to combat skin aging.

It should be noted that the black truffle is consumed in very small quantities, so it is normal to see it in pieces or grated on top of the dishes, to give flavor and aroma. Although it has many properties, its texture and nutritional composition could cause bad digestion if we eat a lot of it.

Truffles are consumed and preserved quickly, because the aromas they contain are immediately released, as well as their nutritional power.
