For the corner bar, taco Tuesday or dollar-beer Monday might be enough to fill the tables, but for upscale restaurants, two-for-one coupons probably don’t fit into the marketing plan. A literary-themed event, however, can pique intellectual curiosity for diners and staff.

    Truffle Guide 2016 the FOUR ITALIAN TRUFFLES

    ITALFOODS Truffle guide 2016 THE FOUR ITALIAN TRUFFLES WHITE TRUFFLES (Tuber Magnatum Pico) The white truffle is the most rare and precious of all truffles. It is picked only between the months of September and December in the town of Alba in the Piemonte region. The smooth, yellow surface of the truffle hides an interior that varies from brown to pale hazelnut with thin, light veins. Its unmistakable aroma is extremely intense, yet delicate. The key to its use is to use it raw. The classic combination would be egg paparadelle tossed with butter, the best grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and then at the end the White Truffle thinly shaved on top. Preferably at tableside for dramatic effect. BLACK WINTER TRUFFLES (Tuber Melanosporum Vitt) This “black diamond” can be found as far as 20 inches under the ground, near oak trees, hornbeams, and hazelnut trees. It is picked in the Umbrian region of Italy between December and March. Its surface is black and wrinkled, with minute warts and its pulp is a purplish black with numerous, thin veins. Best tossed with warm olive oil and seasoning to taste. BIANCHETTO TRUFFLES (Tuber Albidum Pico) The season for picking the Bianchetto truffles, which is the smallest of the truffles, is between the months of January and April. They are whitish in color, while the pulp is a pale hazelnut with white veins. Their taste is sharp, but added to butter or olive oil, they tend to taste very similar to the precious white truffles. BLACK SUMMER TRUFFLES (Tuber Aestivum Vitt) The easy availability of these truffles makes them the most widely used.

    Annals of Microbiology (2019) 69:553–565 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13213-019-1445-4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Chinese white truffles shape the ectomycorrhizal microbial communities of Corylus avellana Mei Yang1 & Jie Zou2,3 & Chengyi Liu1 & Yujun Xiao1 & Xiaoping Zhang2,3 & Lijuan Yan4 & Lei Ye2 & Ping Tang1 & Xiaolin Li2 Received: 29 October 2018 /Accepted: 30 January 2019 /Published online: 14 February 2019 # Università degli studi di Milano 2019 Abstract Here, we investigated the influence of Chinese white truffle (Tuber panzhihuanense) symbioses on the microbial communities associated with Corylus avellana during the early development stage of symbiosis. The microbial communities associated with ectomycorrhizae, and associated with roots without T. panzhihuanense colonization, were determined via high-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes and fungal ITS genes. Microbial community diversity was higher in the communities associated with the ectomycorrhizae than in the control treatment. Further, bacterial and fungal community structures were different in samples containing T. panzhihuanense in association with C. avellana compared to the control samples. In particular, the bacterial genera Rhizobium, Pedomicrobium,andHerbiconiux were more abundant in the ectomycorrhizae, in addition to the fungal genus Monographella. Moreover, there were clear differences in some physicochemical properties among the rhizosphere soils of the two treatments. Statistical analyses indicated that soil properties including exchangeable magnesium and exchange- able calcium prominently influenced microbial community structure. Lastly, inference of bacterial metabolic functions indicated that sugar and protein metabolism functions were significantly more enriched in the communities associated with the ectomycorrhizae from C. avellana mycorrhized with T. panzhihuanense compared to communities from roots of cultivated C.

    What Is a Truffle? Why Do Truffles Smell?

    Truffle Q & A by Alana McGee- Often called diamonds of the culinary world, truffles are edible fungi that grow underground, and are considered to be a delicacy because of their intense and unique characteristics and aromas. Truffles are often shaved on top of food prior to serving, but they also are used to infuse flavors into dishes. Along with caviar, saffron, and matsutake mushrooms, truffles are considered one of the most highly sought after, rare, and expensive foods in the world. What is a truffle? Truffles are the fruiting bodies (spore-bearing mechanisms) of underground mushrooms. The actual fungus from which the truffles grow are formed by an underground network of mycelium in a symbiotic relationship with a host plant. This mutually beneficial arrangement occurs when the fungal mycelium and the root cells of the plant grow together to create mycorrhizae. The plant provides sugars to the fungus through photosynthesis, and the fungus provides the plant with minerals, water, and other nutrients from the soil that it could not get by itself. Why do truffles smell? Unlike mushrooms above ground, truffles rely entirely on animals to eat them as a means of spore dispersal. That is how truffle fungi spread and reproduce. And how do they do that exactly? Well, by smelling good of course! As truffles mature they develop odors and send off gasses and pheromones that signal to the surrounding wildlife that there is something tasty hidden under the soil. We like to eat them for the same reasons a chipmunk might. Are there many types of truffles? Yes.

Box 268, Dunedin, New Zealand Correspondig Author M. Iotti e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this review the current status of truffle cultivation in Europe and outside Europe is reported. While the cultivation of Tuber melanosporum (Périgord black truffle), Tuber aestivum (summer or Burgundy truffle) and Tuber borchii (bianchetto truffle) gave good results, only the Italian white truffle (Tuber magnatum), which is the most expensive, has yet to be successfully cultivated. In future a revolutionary approach to truffle cultivation would be the application of mycelial inoculation techniques for producing Tuber infected plants which will allow to select the fungal strains adapted to specific climatic, edaphic conditions and hosts. The new insights which will be gained by the extensive Tuber genome sequencing programme will also help to improve truffle cultivation techniques.

Given the geographical location and local demand, Max TROBIN specialised first of all in the production of forest plants for mountain reforestation. Very quickly he developed innovative solutions such as the first ROBIN ANTI-CHIGNON® pots to improve the performance of his plants. Joined by his son Bruno in 1980, then by his two daughters Christine and Cécile, in 1988 the ROBIN family created a controlled mycorrhization laboratory in Saint Laurent du Cros, with the help of ANVAR (French national agency Max ROBIN in 1950. for the development of research). In this state-of-the-art laboratory and thanks to qualified and competent personnel, ROBIN pépinières very quickly mastered all the stages of controlled mycorrhization. Additionally, they are equipped with production greenhouses and acclimatisation devices for the proper development of young mycorrhizal plants at Pépinières ROBIN’s 2nd production site located in Valernes in the Alpes de Haute Provence department. ® One of our ROBIN truffle oak production greenhouses on our Valernes farm (04200) 2 Bruno, Cécile and Christine Robin with part of the ROBIN pépinières team.
