An explosion of particular flavours and smells fills the air when you enjoy a truffle. An indescribable intensity reminiscent of a wine tasting. We can enjoy the smell of a good fresh truffle and stop to detect each of its nuances: that touch of wet earth, of forest, of nature…
It is therefore quite complex to describe the taste of this delicacy, as it is completely different from any other food we know. The black truffle has more than fifty aromatic compounds such as fruity details, experts compare it to a certain taste of nuts such as walnuts or almonds.
