Origin

Where does Spanish black truffle come from?

Spain is one of the most important sources of Tuber melanosporum. Ours comes from Teruel, where limestone soils and cold continental winters give truffles of deep earth and musk.

Truffles are found with trained dogs between December and March, graded, and moved fast, because the aroma is perishable.
