In the winter months, truffle season beckons in Europe. ... “Southern Europe has a very special ecology that supports intensely aromatic and flavorful truffles,” said Harris. “Winter truffles, both white and black, are unique to Europe and are the most prized in the world. Black truffles grow with the oak and hazelnut trees in the Périgord region in France. Burgundy truffles can be found throughout Europe in general, like the black summer truffle. White truffles are typically found in the Langhe and Montferrat areas of northern Italy around the Piedmont region.
