BLACK TRUFFLE – TUBER MELANOSPORUM
Tuber Melanosporum or Black truffle is a species of truffle native to Southern Europe and one of the most expensive edible mushrooms in the world. Its organic cultivation needs some very specific geological and weather conditions for its development. The truffles grow underground, 20 to 30cm deep, in symbioses with the roots of trees, especially different kinds of oak and hazelnut.
At Basco, we have weekly deliveries of fresh Spanish Black Truffle from the ground to your door.
