Why Truffles are the treasure of Italian Culinary tradition?

 

Strictly speaking, a truffle is a fungus. Truffles are usually found underground, near tree roots, and this is where the refined sense of smell of dogs comes in hand. These incredible dogs are trained to locate truffles underground and are the most loyal companions in this modern treasure hunt - and truffles are really a buried treasure when you consider their value: the largest truffle in the world was sold for $61,000 at a Sotheby’s auction in 2014.

There is a reason why truffles are so expensive: to this day they are a wild product, not something you can cultivate or control, and finding them requires highly skilled and trained dogs. It is definitely worth its price!
