The truffle and its uses

The truffle is a type of rare and valuable tuber which belongs to the family of Tuberaceae. It grows usually in the soil near the roots of certain trees or shrubs, oaks and holm oaks in particular, who form a relationship of symbiosis.
Its typical intense and persistent scent aims to bring wild animals to allow a better dissemination of spores, and then the continuation of the species.
