Kalaharituber Pfeilii - Kalahari truffles are not to be confused with their European cousins, which are far denser and more flavoured. They only grow in sandy soil, and they are named after the Kalahari region where they were first discovered by European settlers. I’d describe the taste as being similar to a porcini mushroom. They are very nutritious, being extremely high in protein. In fact that’s what they are; the underground fruit of a fungus, a subterranean mushroom.

White Oregon Truffles

White Oregon Truffles - The uncommon and undervalued, Oregon White truffle, Tuber oregonense, is a cousin to the Black truffles of Périgord and White truffles of Alba. Fungi grow in a symbiotic relationship with tree roots, giving trees vital nutrition for survival. This is known as mycorrhizae. It takes a skilled harvester to smell and locate a mature truffle. Squirrels and mice eat truffles, thus signs of dug up ground is a good indicator that truffles are near. The true professional truffle harvesters only use trained dogs as they leave a smaller footprint, resulting in healthier, unharmed forests and higher quality truffles.

Truffle hunting in Perigord, France. Specially trained pigs can smell and track truffles deep under the oak trees where they grow. The black truffle of Perigord is worth more than its weight in gold, and the farmer and his pig, when they do find black gold, bring the truffled to a special market in Perigord where they are sold.

Top 10 foods to eat in Italy in the Autumn

Italian truffles are not made of chocolate. They’re actually a type of mushroom that grows underground. Black truffles sell for upwards of $500 a pound, while the white variety can go for more than $2,000. Eating them grated over the top of pasta, eggs, meat, even pizza, is enough to experience their creamy, earthy flavor in its entirety. A typical, fall plate of tagliattele al tartufo (truffle pasta) in Italy costs a reasonable €10-€20.
