Crodarom® White Truffle

This truffle, also called “white diamond” or “black gold”, hides a delicate white flesh in dark brown skin. White truffle originated from the area between South-France and North-Italy. Truffles are one of the earth's rarest delicacies. In the Roman world it was dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love and its fragrance was a sort of "quintessence" that produced an ecstatic effect on the living being. Within the last centuries, the strong perfume and unusual taste of truffle deemed it a luxury product and a sign of wealth and prestige. Truffles are rich in amino acids, minerals and valuable sugar ingredients that have tonifying and moisture-balancing effects. Compared to other truffle species, Tuber aestivum is less strong in sulphur-like perfume, making it more suitable for cosmetic applications.
