We all know that Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s is one of the best ambassadors of Spain, especially in everything that has to do with gastronomy. Whenever he can, he takes the opportunity to praise our traditions, typical products and recipes. On this occasion, he has used his podcast Longer Tables<\/em><\/a> to claim our country as one of the main producers of black truffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a talk with Rowan Jacobsen, an American food journalist, they discussed where black truffles really come from, since many people think that it is a food that comes from France. As Jacobsen himself explained, there are many who associate black truffles with France, because French gastronomy made them their own. And when you go to the small markets of this country and buy this food, “most of these black truffles actually come from Spain”, he revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is one of the greatest secrets of the truffle industry,” adds Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s. The Spanish region where this type of truffle is most produced is in Teruel, an area that was becoming depopulated due to the rural exodus of young people. Farmers and the government decided to collaborate to create huge truffle farms in the area, as the Asturian explains. And production has been so successful that the French come to Teruel to buy these truffles but, “as soon as they arrive in France, they are immediately granted citizenship,” they joke during the podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
