WHITE OR BLACK TO EVERYONE


ARTICLE ELENA CHIESA,
TIPS AND PICTURES OF GIANNI MIGLIETTA

Dear readers ... Today I'm wrestling with the
' Truffles' ,' fungus noble ', but do not know very scientific, so I informed through books and the Internet. On the other hand I knew
Gianni Miglietta , great seeker of these fantastic examples here in the picture, and that inspired me to post. He is a true fanatic and goes there almost every day, rain or shine, from spring to winter, trained with his beloved dogs.

Even for him, as for fungaioli in front of a pig or a ovolo, satisfaction in the extraction from the earth is the same as that of a finder for a klondike gold nugget.
In most but not only with his 'friends' trust, his dogs that feel the excitement and euphoria of discovery involved. His enthusiasm infected me so much that if I'm going to find in Salento, I'd like to take a ride in the woods with him, and maybe give some advice for other mushrooms! He, of course
mushrooms knows, and hears some variety in his travels, and they prepare and cook happy friends, because like me and others prefer to eat other quality truffles!

also knows a way to preserve them, since the sensitivity of the product, adding oil makes it a beat and puts them in the freezer to freeze, no preservatives.
agrees to be his friend, because apparently it is also generous, distributes jars of 'dips', as he calls it, to close friends! I really do not like the nose, just for that its 'aroma' pervasive that stuns me, I appreciate them even just sliced \u200b\u200bthe fondue Valle d'Aosta, because it can mitigate the smell.

I remember years ago when I was a child, at Christmas we were in our grandparents' house, a great seventeenth-century house, full of adjoining rooms, and, going from room 'cold', just one of the last heated that I had to go through the 'room' games' so named by us because of the stuffed toys mom, and a thousand of our objects brought from various sites in Italy, where we had been over the years, he felt a strange smell. The worried grandmother had checked everything that was in the room, since it was a bit cold 'winter from cold storage for vegetables, fruits, preserves, jams and used for the ironing, without understanding what might have gone wrong!
At Christmas my grandfather asked who did the fondue, and finally the day before he went into 'cool' and brought to light a small white truffles and fontina on sliced \u200b\u200bproudly revealing all the mystery! I know my grandmother first took a sigh of relief, and then laughed! That was the first time I ate the precious fungus, I do not know if it is hungry, or for the novelty I found it pleasant, but later, I can not list it among my favorite dishes, although it is considered a delicacy for Gourmets. One thing that
I knew, is that truffles can be found almost everywhere in Italy, including Puglia, in this case the Salento.
Gianni is not limited in its zones, but extends to other Italian regions and even went up on the Balkans.

Truffles, Latin
'Tuber' , also known formerly 'territùfru' , slang of the late Latin word 'terrae tufer' (excrescence of the earth) because it resembles the tufa stone typical of central Italy, is now called, in slang, in the various regions of the collection, 'truffle', 'Tartufoli', 'trifula' and 'tréffla' . Truffles are part of the family
'Tuberaceae' , belong to the species of fungi 'underground' , that is a mushroom that grows underground, from underground, underground, growing between the roots of some trees and shrubs, in particular, oaks and holm oaks (Quercus ilex), poplar, linden, willow, hornbeam, beech, hazel, pine, are symbiotic fungi, that have a relationship with the roots of the plant under which they are born. For truffle includes only the fruit, similar to a potato tuber bumpy, and the search is usually entrusted to the dogs and sometimes even the pigs for their unique flair, the man would not be able to notice their presence.

Ideally, look for the pig, but the problem is that unlike dogs, the nose is greedy, so we must be quick to move the animal when they find it, if not eat it, and Sometimes it can become irritated and become dangerous. So the 'truffle' generally choose the dog, well trained, there are particular breeds, but maybe better if you train the mongrels from small puppies.
its persistent and pervasive, helping to attract wildlife such as boars, badgers, dormice and the fox to 'dig' into the ground and identify them in depth and so the spores spread through the forest.
There are a variety of truffles that
'Truffle of the desert' born in the Mediterranean, in semi-desert areas, much appreciated by the Mediterranean peoples. in France and Northern Europe, especially Germany and England were collected many years ago 'considering them a good food. Even in
Truffles were prized and considered an aphrodisiac, giving the flavor and aroma of high importance, beloved by the nobles and the prelates.

There is a Greek legend where it was said that they were created by thunderbolts hurled at the oaks, by the gods. The finest white wines in Italy are considered of Piedmont, which includes the area of \u200b\u200bCasale Monferrato, Alessandria, Acqui Terme, up to Liguria, Asti, the area of \u200b\u200bthe Langhe and Roero.


especially in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the truffles of Montferrat had a great trade, were assigned to the royal houses, such as Gonzaga, and the Visconti-Sforza, of course Piedmont in the United House of Savoy.

The truffles are also collected from the Marches and Tuscany, where there is a great proliferation of both white and blacks.
Central Italy is the largest collection area, in particular Acqualagna, where there is the Truffle Fair of the most important country in October and November, making it even famous Urbino and Pesaro. Other well established

Truffles Italians are well known and valued throughout the world, so they are often sold at auctions at astronomical prices.

Another curiosity about a century trying to make the cultivation of truffles as with other mushrooms, in Italy, France and the rest of the world. There are many varieties that even the name change of the seasons, among the best known are:


Black Truffle, Tuber Latin name MELANOSPORUM Vittadini ; truffles from Norcia and Spoleto marked with small polygonal warts.

The Truffle , Latin name, Tuber borchii Vitt , a truffle is highly sought for central Italy and especially Tuscany, Marche Emilia even if it is considered inferior to the white truffle, Tuber Magnatum merges with, because it has the same morphological characteristics, which only further darkens when it is ripe, the same happens to the meat inside.
