On the trail of the black diamond

Have you ever witnessed a truffle hunt in the forest? If not, you should change that as soon as possible. It is a real experience to see the truffle hunter and his four-legged companion in action. You can feel the bond between the two and their concentration at every moment of the search. Your pulse will race as soon as the dog picks up the scent, speeds up and starts digging. It can take a good half hour for a truffle to come to light, depending on how deep it is. The truffle hunter constantly encourages his dog and controls its digging – after all, the tuber must not be damaged. For this reason, the truffle hunter usually takes over the last part himself and ends up holding the fragrant tuber in his hands, while his partner gets a treat.
