Truffle Hunting (Umbria, Italy)
Truffles have been called, the “diamonds of the kitchen.” These edible fungi that only grow underground are highly prized because of their ability to enhance the taste of food.
A favorite in ancient times, the truffle was “lost” during the Middle Ages, only to be re-discovered during the Renaissance.
Truffles are extraordinarily expensive because they can only be harvested by specially trained pigs (or more recently truffle hunting dogs). In 1825 the epicure Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin noted that truffles were so expensive that they were found only at the dinner tables of great nobles and kept women.
