How Truffles Grow
Truffles are underground fungi that develop with the roots of specific trees, such as oak, hazelnut, and beech.
This is a mutual relationship:
The tree helps the truffle grow by providing sugars.
The truffle helps the tree absorb water and nutrients.
Over several months, truffles mature underground, releasing natural aromas that trained dogs detect during harvest.
This complex natural process makes truffles rare and highly valuable.
