Description
\nTuber borchii or White Borch Truffle is a delicious edible species. The aroma of Tuber borchii is soft and pleasant reminiscent of a walnut aroma, while its taste is also pleasant. It bears fruit underground, at an altitude of 0-1000 m, in sandy, calcareous and acidic soils, under trees and shrubs, with conifers or broad-leaved trees, pines, oaks, holly trees, in adjacent fields in winter and spring. It has a diameter of 2-3 rarely reaches 7 cm, irregularly subspherical, irregular with bumps, reminiscent of a potato. It is initially whitish in color and brownish-ocher when ripe, often with reddish spots and smooth. Its flesh is initially whitish and later beige, red-brown with large white ramifications reaching the circumference. It has a pleasant truffle smell reminiscent of garlic. The spores are light-yellow in color.
\nPreservation of fresh truffle
\nThe cleaned truffle is kept as well as the one we keep in the ground, under the following conditions:
\nTruffles should never be kept in water.
\nThey should not remain in water before cleaning.
\nBrushing should be done under drinking water.
\nWiping after washing (very important) should be done in a cool place so that the temperature difference between drying and storage is as small as possible.<\/p>\n
Storing the truffle
\nTruffles absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide along with aromatic substances. At a temperature of about 0 degrees Celsius, not much lower, respiration and oxidation are minimized. However, the longer they remain in such conditions, the more aroma they lose. For the proper storage and preservation of the truffle after collection, the largest amount of soil is cleaned and a thin layer is left for better preservation. They are washed and brushed only when they are to be used to avoid the risk of deterioration.
