Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
Did you know that the black truffle has the strange ability to produce a natural herbicide enzyme that, once in symbiosis with a plant, creates a grass-free zone of soil around the truffle host, called a ‘flatland’?
This is how the black truffle is found in the woods. The soil is easily recognisable because it has been ‘burnt’ by the truffle. What's more, the black summer truffle grows very shallow, so it's easy to find even without trained dogs. This type of truffle likes to grow in sedimentary and brecciated soils, which are often found near deciduous trees like oak and hornbeam. These trees act as symbiont plants, which is how the truffle gets its nutrients.
In Italy, the collection of the black summer truffle is regulated by regional laws, which set out specific periods for collection in order to preserve truffle beds and ensure the truffle's maturation. It's important to note that the truffle's maturation is essential for developing its characteristic aroma and flavour. Before it matures, the summer truffle has a less intense flavour and a less appreciated texture.
Italy has a long tradition of truffle-harvesting, with many regions, such as Marche, producing high-quality truffles.
