White truffle

Mushrooms in our country have always enjoyed increased popularity. They are used in a wide variety of fields. It is extremely important to collect exactly the mushroom that was originally planned. The fact is that every year many people die due to food poisoning with mushrooms. After all, most of them are poisonous. Speaking of the best offers of the market, one cannot but say about the white truffle.

Truffle is a genus of marsupials with subterranean fruit bodies. This genus includes exclusively edible species, most of which are considered valuable delicacies. The price of a white truffle has always been kept on the high bar. A kilogram of mushrooms in Europe costs more than 2, 000 euros. The reason for this high cost is the exceptional taste properties of the mushroom, its benefits, as well as the difficulty in collecting it.

White truffle grows underground at a depth of 30 cm. It is simply impossible to detect it with the naked eye. For this reason, pigs are used to search for it. Previously, they bandage their muzzle with a belt that they did not bite the delicacy. Recently, specially trained dogs have also been used in the search for truffles. However, they are much less common.
