Does size matter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Surprisingly, size doesn\u2019t matter. \u201cLarger truffles may be \u2018better\u2019 in the sense that they are more presentable if they are shaved tableside,\u201d says Robert, \u201cbut once they are shaved, there is no difference whatsoever compared to a smaller truffle of the same freshness in terms of aroma or taste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truffle hunters and chefs look for aroma, variety, freshness, firmness, maturity, color, and no deterioration caused by predators. The most important attraction for a truffle is its aroma, says Umberto, which is directly related to how fresh it is.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are truffles really harvested using pigs?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Truffles are harvested by hand using either pigs or trained dogs to pinpoint their location. Throughout history, pigs were more commonly used to hunt truffles as they generally have sharper noses and do not need to be trained. Today, dogs are used almost exclusively and are preferred by truffle hunters as they don\u2019t eat the truffles, like pigs do, and they are more efficient and much easier to handle. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to go around unnoticed with a few hundred kilos of pigs in the back of your car,\u201d says Massimo.<\/p>\n<p>However, the method of actually digging the truffles out of the ground by hand\u2014that hasn\u2019t changed for centuries!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can <em>anyone<\/em> hunt truffles?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hunting truffles requires a nose, a well-trained dog, and a map in your mind passed down for generations. Most wild truffle hunters do not divulge the location of their truffle finds, but many truffle hunters offer truffle hunting experiences for visitors to France and Italy. \u201cGoing out with a truffle hunter is a really great experience,\u201d says Massimo. \u201cIt\u2019s the only way to truly appreciate nature and the hard work of hunting truffles.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How are truffle dogs trained?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most truffle dogs come from two truffle dog parents, and truffle training starts when a dog is just a pup. \u201cTruffle oil is applied to the mother as the puppies are feeding so they get the taste for it, and puppies are often fed truffles as treats,\u201d says Radka Ramain. This is how they trained her truffle dog, Elmo!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How long do they keep?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Truffles behave like radioactive material, says Robert. \u201cThey have a half-life of about four to five days. As soon as they come out of the ground, the aromas start dissipating. After four to five days, only half of the aromas remain. After eight to ten days, only a quarter of the aroma is there. After that, they are no better than the mushrooms you buy from the supermarket.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you tell which truffle is better than another?
