TRUFFLE - TUBER AESTIVUM VALNERINA (Rippitippi - courtesy of Wikipedia)
Have you ever eaten a truffle? Do you know what the world record price is for a truffle (amazing!!) or how much truffle hunters love their dogs?.
Well, truffles are found in Spain and Andrew Linn has just posted a great article on truffles in Spain on our Culture Spain food and wine Blog. Have a look – erudite as ever Andrew provides a great picture of truffles in Spain and their connection with the great (and beautiful) Somontano wine country in which the truffles are found.
To be honest, I have never eaten a truffle in Spain (or elsewhere!) and so I have no idea what they taste like. If you have, then do drop me a note and tell me if they really are the delicacy that they are claimed. Or are they an acquired taste – albeit a very expensive one?
