It\u2019s an anticipated part of fall restaurant menus and has not fallen out of cooking fashion for centuries. We are talking about <strong>the most prized mushroom in the world:<\/strong> the truffle. And while we may not be professional truffle hunters, getting the dirt on the world&#8217;s most famous mushroom makes us appreciate it even more.<\/p>\n<p>True truffles are a rare delight that offer a distinct, unique flavor unlike any other food or natural ingredient. <strong>There are several species of truffle<\/strong>, the most popular being White Truffle, Black Winter Truffle, Black Summer Truffle, Burgundy Truffle, and Bianchetto Truffle. The prices vary for different types of truffles depending on their rarity and flavor, with the highest (the white truffle) coming in at <strong>over $8,800 per pound<\/strong>. Though flavor intensity and complexity varies between truffles, each variety of truffle is firmly in the &#8220;umami&#8221; category of taste\u2014very earthy and doesn&#8217;t need a lot of salt to trip your tastebuds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12517\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12517\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12517\" src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles.jpg\" alt=\"Box of white and black truffles\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles-175x117.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Box-of-white-and-black-truffles-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12517\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Box of white and black truffles.

Symbiotic relationships indicate that there is an exchange of nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>Truffles are the most expensive mushrooms and one of the most exclusive ingredients in the world, which is why true connoisseurs call it the &#8220;diamond of the kitchen.&#8221; For centuries, every truffle hunter has had to rely on the keen <strong>sense of smell of trained pigs and dogs<\/strong> to locate truffles. However, dogs, who are known to be more obedient than pigs and have less of an affinity towards the taste of truffles, have overtaken the role. Female pigs in particular go crazy over the scent of truffle\u2014great for locating them, but not so great when they\u2019re dug up and eaten by the pig. Why is this? The musky aroma is similar to that of a potential mate\u2019s pheromone, and is so strong and recognizable that even though buried deep inside the ground, the pigs still manage to find them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12513\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12513 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog.jpg\" alt=\"Man truffle hunting in Italy with his trained dog\" width=\"850\" height=\"565\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog-175x116.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog-450x299.jpg 450w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Man-truffle-hunting-in-Italy-with-his-trained-dog-270x180.jpg 270w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 850px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 850\/565;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Man truffle hunting in Italy with his trained dog.

As mentioned before, they grow in very specific conditions, which makes cultivation a difficult (some would say impossible) job. The truffle grows only where there the soil is suitable, where the temperature is just right, and the location has the exact characteristics favored by the truffle. Together with the fact that trained dogs must be used to find them, as truffles are otherwise hidden underground, and you\u2019ll understand why they\u2019re so rare.<\/p>\n<p>Precious and pungent fresh truffles are usually <strong>served sparingly<\/strong> so as not to overpower dishes or drain customers&#8217; bank accounts. Black truffles are sliced or peeled and can be used raw or lightly cooked, White truffles are carefully wiped clean and should never be cooked. They have a distinct peppery taste and are usually sliced raw, directly onto the dish.<\/p>\n<h2>What wines to pair with truffle?<\/h2>\n<p>With such a rare, special ingredient as the truffle, you\u2019ll want your wine to elevate the experience, not overpower or undercut the flavor of the truffle. <strong>In general, wines that have grown in complexity with age<\/strong> will pair beautifully with the complex flavors of the mushroom.<\/p>\n<h3>White wines to pair with truffles<\/h3>\n<p>When truffle is shaved over egg-rich pasta or beef tartare, reach for the white wine. A Gavi made from Cortese grapes from Piemonte will have ageability and complexity, especially if aged on the lees like <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/michele-chiarlo-le-marne-gavi-docg\/\">Michele Chiarlo Le Marne Gavi DOCG<\/a>. The richness of a white Burgundy like <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/louis-jadot-cote-dor-burgundies-puligny-montrachet-2017\/\">Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet<\/a> will only elevate the truffle, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/domaine-ferret-pouilly-fuisse-2\/\">Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9<\/a> with some age is perfect. Another excellent choice is a Riesling: choose one from Domaine Zind-Humbrecht from Alsace, such as the incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Zind-Humbrecht%20Gewurztraminer,%20Clos%20Windsbuhl\">Riesling Clos Windsbuhl Monopole<\/a>, whose wines are finely made and can age for years, and you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n<h3>Red wines to pair with truffles<\/h3>\n<p>Opt for a red wine when truffle garnishes richer pastas and hearty meats. The most classic of wines to pair with truffles, particularly white truffle, come from the same territory as the mushroom: a Barolo or Barbaresco, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/michele-chiarlo-tortoniano-barolo-docg-2016\/\">Michele Chiarlo Barolo Tortoniano<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Michele%20Chiarlo%20Barbaresco,%20Asili%20Riserva\">Asili Barbaresco<\/a>. For a dish that\u2019s less complex (and for a meal that\u2019s less expensive!) pair the black summer or winter truffles with soft Merlot like the <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Montes%20Alpha%20Merlot\">Montes Alpha Merlot<\/a> or an <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Montes%20Alpha%20Pinot%20Noir\">Alpha Pinot Noir<\/a>, always an easy wine to pair with food: <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/cakebread-two-creeks-pinot-noir\/\">Cakebread Two Creeks Pinot Noir<\/a> is a happy marriage of Old and New World, a Burgundian-style Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley, a premier cool-climate AVA.<\/p>\n<h3>Sparkling Wines to Pair with Truffles<\/h3>\n<p>Consider bubbles when the dish with truffle is accompanied by a fatty, buttery, or fried component. Sparkling wines that have aged long on the lees have greater creaminess and less sharp acidity, and therefore will be a gentler pairing with the delicate truffle. How could we not recommend a Champagne like <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Taittinger%20Brut%20Prestige%20Blanc\">Taittinger Prestige Brut<\/a>, which ages for nearly four years on the lees? For an American option, <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/shop-for-wine\/?gProdNM=Domaine%20Carneros%20Le%20Reve\">Domaine Carneros Le R\u00eave Blanc de Blancs<\/a> ages for five to six years sur lie, giving the wine a round, long finish.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12519\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12519 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle.jpg\" alt=\"Lineup of wines suggested to pair with truffle\" width=\"850\" height=\"494\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle-175x102.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lineup-of-wines-suggested-to-pair-with-truffle-450x262.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 850px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 850\/494;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lineup of wines suggested to pair with truffle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>This article was written with the help of our good friends at\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbani.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Urbani Truffle<\/em><\/a><em>, fine truffle purveyors for six generations.
