Black Truffle Harvesting

To understand how truffles are grown, it is first essential to know their natural environment and the symbiotic relationship they have with certain trees. This cultivation requires not only patience, but also a deep knowledge of the soil and the ideal conditions for their development.

Truffles grow underground, at the base of trees such as holm oak, oak or hazel. They establish a symbiosis with the tree roots, where both benefit: the truffles provide essential nutrients and the trees, in turn, help these delicate subway jewels to thrive. This link is key to their successful cultivation.

Growing truffles is a long and complex process, but the results are worth every effort. With the right soil, constant care and some canine help, you can turn years of work into a gastronomic treasure.
