The history of truffles
The history of truffles goes back to ancient times. At the time of the Greeks and the Romans, the truffle was valued for its aphrodisiac virtues and had its place at all major festivals.
In the Middle Ages, the truffle was considered satanic or evil because of its black color and growth underground. And that`s why it`s been forgotten.
The revival, a few decades later, came through the Court of the Popes of Avignon, in the Vaucluse department. They invited people to their banquets and served truffles.
In the 19th century, the truffle reached its golden age. Phylloxera destroyed most of Europe`s vineyards. As terrible as it was for the winemakers, it has been a blessing for truffle collectors. Because the fallow land was ideal for growing truffles.
