Are you already under the spell of gastronomy's Black Gold?
Highly sought after by the world’s finest chefs and connoisseurssince they were first discovered in Perigord many centuries ago, black truffles maintain their position at the very top of the gourmet ladder.
Loved by the ancient Greeks, prized by the Romans and adored by the French, truffles continue – even after 3,000 years of consumption – to remain somewhat of a mystery. In fact, in some parts of the world truffles are greatly praised for their aphrodisiacal powers.
While proof of such qualities is still to be confirmed, truffles are undoubtedly one of nature’s noblest gastronomic ingredients and are held in the highest esteem throughout the world of international haute cuisine.
