White Truffle Oil
The truffle is a particularly prized mushroom that is part of the order of the Pezizales and the Tuberaceae family. Distinguished by a highly irregular shape, the truffle is a subterranean fruit that develops mainly inside moist soils and, in particular, near the roots of shrubs such as holm and oaks, with which it establishes a symbiotic relationship. Truffle oil is one of the most valuable foods which is used for dressing of a large number of dishes, especially pasta.
In the world, the diffusion of the truffle is relatively low, as its proliferation is strongly bound to the subsistence of some particular climatic and environmental conditions: the rarity and the delicacy of this product raise the price of the most valuable varieties, in the less prolific seasons.
As with most mushrooms, the truffle also reproduces by spreading spores, or tiny seeds that, transported by the wind or by the movement of some animals that feed on truffles, are scattered in the soil surrounding the roots of other plants.
60 species of truffle are currently surveyed, but only 3 of these can be considered highly valuable, edible and, consequently, marketable: they are the White Truffle (also called Magnatum Pico), the black summer truffle (also called Scorzone), Black Winter Truffle, (also called Bagnoli Truffle).
Each of these has particular organoleptic notes, which clearly distinguish each truffle specimen from all other existing species on the palate. In addition to the specific characteristics of the category to which it belongs, the specific baggage of the peculiarities of the soil within which it developed has also determined the flavor of a truffle.
