Tricastin is the mecca in production of the famous black truffle (60% of national production).
Thisprstigious "black diamond" which was intensily consumed
in other times, became rare and is now on our best tables served as refined
dish. Its characteristics which are so specific made it a product which
is the only one !
Indeed, it's difficult to really explain its life which is first or all underground, whith a black rare colour, a hood smelling perfume and a hard taste.
However, this muschroom seems to find on our territory special conditions to naturally grow up, a tree preferably on oak, a particulary chalky ground and finally a mediterranean climate... But nothing is never reached perfectly.
Indeed, the delicious "tuber melanosporum" with this enchanting
personality should not necessarily reappear at the same place and mankind
gave it generously everything was needed to grow up, but it took away
all its secrets...
If you find it... what hapiness it is, isn't it ?
