Drôme: the truffle, black treasure and perfume of excellence

The black truffle is the object of all desires. It is the rough diamond of the Drôme, land of origin of 80% of French production. Many have made the trip, and do not hesitate to break the piggy bank. The truffle is worth it. André Jardin is truffle grower for forty years, he has proudly presented his harvest, the fruit of long-term work. “You have to wait at least ten years before harvesting it, if not more.”

A truffle that ticks all the boxes according to the quality control manager present in Valencia, at the farmers’ market. “The first criterion is the shape, round, the second is the density”, explains Roland Perrenot. A unique perfume and a product of excellence that Anne-Sophie Pic, three-starred chef, knew how to sublimate. “The truffle is plural in associations, with meat, fish or even in dessert.“ A pleasure to use without moderation.
