NZ Winter Truffles
Périgord black truffles (tuber melanosporum) are the champagne of truffles for discerning chefs who treasure its earthy aroma and rich chocolate flavour.
Grown beneath the soil among the root systems, the truffle develops a symbiotic relationship with the trees. When ripe, the truffle brings to mind the scent of undergrowth, strawberries, wet earth or dried fruit with a hint of cocoa. Traditionally pigs were trained to detect the scent, but they tended to enjoy the truffles a little too much before the growers could get their hands on them, so now dogs are more commonly used to hunt out these treasured fungi.
