Why truffle/truffles are valued different to other mushrooms
To assist you value the reason why truffle prices differ from period to season and why truffle/truffles are priced (and prized!) as they are, let's take you "behind-the-scenes".

It takes years prior to the first indicator of a truffle might appear. truffle/truffles can only expand under particular weather problems, hence you won't find them growing everywhere They are the fruiting body of a mycorrhizal fungi growing on the roots of a specific host tree, commonly oak or hazelnut trees for the black truffle, in a cooperative partnership with the tree. For growers, this is not farming for the light-hearted. It calls for an audio understanding or accessibility to the most effective suggestions, all of which is based upon appropriate experience from all expanding countries of the world and especially the recent expanding experience in Australia. The thrill will concern a height with harvest of the first truffle during the crisp and sometimes reducing cool truffle season from late May to late August.

While the initial harvest may be from 4 to 8 years after growing, the return from any kind of certain tree will certainly differ. The particularly experienced harvest canines are utilized to identify truffle area as well as the delicate process of uncovering, examination and harvesting occurs.

Our growers spend innumerable hrs on their hands and knees, meticulously excavating the truffle/truffles, with a treatment and accuracy not unlike that seen on a historical dig. What we discover need to be looked for perfection, and if it is not yet all set for collecting, left uninterrupted, covered and also rechecked at a later time. If gathered prematurely, not only do they have none of their dark colouring, but the shelf life, poignant scent and also culinary potential is missing out on, substantially destructive investment returns.
