The Ultimate Guide To Truffles

Welcome to truffles 101, where you’ll learn what is a truffle, what truffles taste like, how they grow, price, why they are so expensive, different types, and how to cook with them.

WHAT IS A TRUFFLE?

Truffles are a sack of spores, edible fungi, like mushrooms. Unlike mushrooms, truffles are subterranean – they grow underground.

WHERE DO TRUFFLES GROW?

Truffles grow in symbiosis with a host tree, attached by microscopic mycelium (fungal rootlets) to the tree’s roots. This is most commonly an oak or hazelnut tree.

TYPES: WHITE TRUFFLE VS. BLACK TRUFFLE

There are more than 200 truffle varieties, yet only a handful are cherished for culinary purposes. Though they can be used interchangeably, there are nuances in seasonality, price, and how to use them.

BLACK TRUFFLE

(TUBER MELANOSPORUM)

Black truffles, tuber melanosporum, are probably the most common type and also known as French Black, Black Gold, or Périgord.

WHITE TRUFFLE

(TUBER BORCHII)

Also known as the bianchetto, or whitish truffle, the white truffle is available from mid-January through the end of April.

WHAT DO TRUFFLES TASTE LIKE?

Black truffles taste earthy, musky, sweet, oaky, and nutty. Use just a little warmth to bring out the flavor. White truffles also taste earthy, pungent, and musky, but are a bit spicier and more intense with notes of garlic.
