For a gourmet exists only one sort of truffle and this is the famous „Périgord truffle“. Its botanical name is Tuber Mélanosporum, which means „truffle with black spores“.

 

Its size varies from the size of a nut to the size of a potatoe. Certain exceptional specimen can weigh more than one kilogram. The young truffle is white, then grey, finally when it is ripe, black with purple reflects and with distinctive veins , like threads, formed by a reddish-white line that protrudes slightly, framed by two translucent lines

Its perfume and its flavour are unforgettable.
