Varieties of Truffles
Two varieties of truffles are mainly grown and picked on our estate : Tuber melanosporum and Tuber brumale. | |||
It is a product of exceptional quality and nobility. |

This truffle has a more fragile peridium (bark) which can be scratched off with a fingernail. Its taste may be quite strong and is always less suttle than that of Tuber melanosporum. It can withstand cooking quite well and is used mainly for cooking sauces, pates and meat pies. |
