Truffles
TRUFFLE IS THE NAME COMMONLY USED FOR HYPOGEAL FUNGUS, BELONGING TO THE TUBER GENUS AND CONSEQUENTLY TO THE TUBERACEAE FAMILY, A CLASS OF ASCOMYCETES
Being a hypogeal fungus, the truffle grows and matures in the earth below and alongside the roots of certain types of trees, especially oaks and holm oaks, with which the fungus establishes a symbiotic relationship, known as mycorrhizal, through which the truffles produce the much-prized sporocarp.

Urbani Truffles,
True Jewels of Nature
Different types of truffle are identified by the shape of the peridium, the gleba, the asci and the spores.
80% of a truffle is made of water, while the remaining 20% comes from ash, total nitrogen, non-protein nitrogen, proteins, lipids, soluble carbohydrates and dietary fibre.
Truffles are best stored wrapped in absorbent paper, placed inside a plastic or glass container placed in the lower section of a fridge (0 to 4 degrees centigrade) for up to two or three days.
