Description:
Truffles are one of the earth's rarest delicacies: In the
Roman world it was dedicated to Venus, 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 sign of
wealth and prestige.
Truffles are rich in amino acids, minerals and valuable
sugar ingredients that have tonifying and moisture-
balancing effects.
Crodarom White Truffle is obtained by a unique microwave technology. It is based on the
Summer Truffle originating from the area between South-France and North-Italy: This “White
Diamond” hides a white and delicate core under a coarse skin. Compared to other truffle
species, Tuber aestivum is less strong in sulphur-like perfume which makes it more suitable
for cosmetic applications.
