grow?<\/h2>\n<p>The truffle is a <strong>hypogean mushroom<\/strong> that grows underground.<\/p>\n<p>The fruit, shaped like a tuber, consists of a fleshy mass, called <strong>gleba<\/strong>, covered with a sort of bark called <strong>peridium<\/strong>; the characteristics of structure and the color of these parts allow to <strong>easily distinguish<\/strong> the various types of truffles.<\/p>\n<p>It is formed in high percentage by <strong>water and mineral salts<\/strong> absorbed by the soil through the <strong>roots of the tree<\/strong> with which it enters into symbiosis: there&#8217;s a <strong>special relationship<\/strong> between some types of tree and the fungus, in which the first nourishes and protects the second, creating the perfect <strong>habitat<\/strong> for its growth.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"small\"><p>The white truffle of Alba takes on different colors depending on the plant with which it lives and develops, varying from white, sometimes with pink veins, to gray tending to brown.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The roots, around which the mycelium finds the conditions to generate the truffle, are mainly those of<strong> poplar<\/strong>, <strong>linden<\/strong>, <strong>oak<\/strong>, <strong>willow<\/strong> and, according to some, also <strong>vines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>When does it grow?<\/h2>\n<p>Alba&#8217;s quality white truffle reaches <strong>full ripeness<\/strong> around the <strong>middle of October<\/strong>, but <a href=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/871\/nights-of-the-trifulau\/?lang=en\">the search<\/a> begins on September 21st and lasts until December 31st.<\/p>\n<p>So be wary of those who try to sell it in other periods: outside of those given days the collection (and sale) is <strong>strictly prohibited and punished<\/strong>, therefore you&#8217;d be dealing with fake and \/ or<strong> illegal<\/strong> truffles.<\/p>\n<p>There are similar varieties in shape and color that can confuse the less experienced, but since this truffle has a <strong>very short shelf life<\/strong>, of just a few days, it is impossible to find quality at other times of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The best truffles for quantity and quality are those that ripen in the period of the <strong>new moon of November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, following the <strong>lunar calendar<\/strong>, you know, year on year, which is the best time for truffles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content__image aligncenter wp-image-186540 size-landscape-lg\"><div class=\"ratio\"><div class=\"ratio__content\"><img

1400px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>How to choose it?<\/h2>\n<p>This is an important aspect, which many ignore.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy a product as expensive as the white truffle, don&#8217;t take the first offered by the merchant: <strong>look<\/strong>, <strong>smell<\/strong>, <strong>touch<\/strong>, allow yourself to make a selection and bring home a product that doesn&#8217;t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, there are <strong>3 steps<\/strong> to follow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>#1 Look<\/h3>\n<p>The visual analysis starts from the<strong> integrity of the truffle<\/strong>: it is not a purely aesthetic matter, because an intact fruit deteriorates less rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>To be evaluated also is the <strong>amount of mud<\/strong> that covers it: mind you, the truffle should not be clean, but not entirely covered, since the smell of the mud can mask any unpleasant aromas.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the purely aesthetic aspect <strong>in no way affects<\/strong> the taste: the<strong> warty truffles<\/strong>, although more difficult to clean, have nothing to envy to the smooth ones.<\/p>\n<p>This difference in appearance derives exclusively from the<strong> soil<\/strong> in which they grew: the characteristic warts are formed when the truffle meets obstacles in growth, such as rocks or roots, and those from the <strong>smooth peridium<\/strong> are usually born in<strong> sandy and brittle soil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content__image aligncenter size-landscape-lg wp-image-187405\"><div class=\"ratio\"><div

Touch<\/h3>\n<p>Tactile evaluation consists in the evaluation of <strong>consistency<\/strong>: a good truffle must be <strong>turgid and compact<\/strong>, slightly elastic.<\/p>\n<p>Do not buy the harder truffle among those on display, and do not be fooled with an excessively elastic one: <strong>stay in the middle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 Smell<\/h3>\n<p>The last phase is the olfactory one: the white truffle has a <strong>complex aroma<\/strong>, much richer than that of the other varieties.<\/p>\n<p>It consists of a <strong>range of sensations<\/strong> of varying intensity and amplitude, again <strong>influenced by the plant<\/strong> in symbiosis: the oak tree bares truffles with a more persistent and longer-lasting aroma, while the linden is more aromatic and clear.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"big\"><p>Look for notes of fermented, fungus, honey, hay, garlic, spices, wet earth and ammonia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s all, you&#8217;re ready, get the

Dopo gli studi all'Universit\u00e0 di Scienze Gastronomiche mi son lasciata andare alle correnti, che un po' per destino un po' per scelta mi han condotta prima a Lucca nella redazione di Cook_inc. e poi al Corriere della Sera, attraverso un flusso interminabile di parole dette e scritte. Guardandomi attorno ho poi capito che la ricerca del bello e genuino riconduceva sempre alla mia terra natia: eccomi cos\u00ec a Langhe.net, realt\u00e0 che appoggio e in cui collaboro con entusiasmo. Italoamericana sulla carta ma aspirante cittadina del mondo, troppo giovane per capirne qualcosa ma con una voglia matta di guardare, approfondire, raccontare.","url":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/author\/kayapearson\/"}]}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13726"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=823"},{"taxonomy":"lgarea","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lgarea?post=823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
