The mystery behind the truffle. People often ask what truffles are and why are they expensive. The truffle is the fruiting body of a fungus, belonging to the family of Tuberacee, which grows underground. There are different species of truffles which differ in shape, size, color, aroma and flavor.

Choose your truffle on smell and touch: it should be fragrant, but remember each truffle has its own perfume. The beauty matters, but it does not determine the goodness of the truffle.
