The Secrets of a Delicacy: Myths, Curiosities, and Facts

This book offers an exciting and highly relevant look at truffles, the coveted delicacy shrouded in legends and myths. Researchers have gained new insights into these noble fungi. While the crisis of the black Périgord truffle in France is not over, in Spain, harvest quantities have doubled thanks to new cultivation methods. Instead of artificial, overpowering truffle aromas, truly natural flavor compounds from truffles are now being developed. Christian Volbracht explores the millennia-old scientific and cultural history of truffles. He investigates and reveals their secrets and debunks fabricated stories—such as truffles being an aphrodisiac or the rumor that they were protected by the Nazis. He narrates how French gendarmes hunt truffle thieves at night and describes the clever tricks of fraudsters and merchants.

The book serves as a tribute to this noblest of delicacies and as a critical fact-check for curious connoisseurs. It has been awarded the German Cookbook Prize in Gold.
