A book about truffles provides a thorough introduction to the black, underground fungus that has fascinated chefs and connoisseurs for centuries. Although most people know the name, fewer are familiar with the truffle’s biology, history, and complex world of trade.
Truffles grow 10–30 cm below ground in symbiosis primarily with oak trees and can only be located with the help of specially trained dogs or—historically—pigs. The book explains this unique way of life and the fascination surrounding the ingredient.
The author Torsten Granov holds an MA, is director of Cultours, and a member of the French truffle brotherhood Confrérie de la Truffe Noire et de la Gastronomie. For many years he has taken part in truffle hunts, written articles, and given lectures on the subject.
The book covers, among other things:
- The truffle’s symbiosis with oak trees
- The rise and fall of truffle production
- Different truffle species
- Price levels and the market
- Legal and illegal trade
- Truffle theft
- Use in the kitchen
- The phenomenon of “moon-sick” truffles
An informative and nuanced publication for anyone seeking deeper insight into the truffle’s biology, cultural history, and gastronomic significance.
