Did you know? Ancient Romans believed that truffle was created when lightening struck damp earth. We now know that this small tuber grows underground in the wild forests of Northern and Central Italy. Today, truffle remains a magical product for Italians, who refer to this earthy and aromatic ingredient as a fairy apple and a diamond of the kitchen.
