    • Tuber Mélanosporum: The Périgord black truffle fascinates as much as it captivates. From the land to the plate, come and discover the truffles of Grand Merlhiot truffle estate. Located in Savignac-les-Eglises in White Périgord, in the heart of a renowned truffle region, it currently consists of 13ha of truffle trees. But the project does not stop there! Driven by Mr. Henri Parent, it was entrusted to Karine and Olivier Leserne who, in the next 5 years, will plant 50 ha to make it one of the largest truffle fields in Périgord. An ambitious and well-run project, which comes with 3 prestigious guest rooms to introduce curious gourmets to truffles during their stay. A table d'hôtes is also available to taste in its most beautiful aspects, the delicate black truffle of Périgord.

      Harvested from mid-December to mid-February at the estate, the black truffle is a capricious mushroom. If it does not require any particular maintenance, it is through luck and experience that a truffle grower takes care of his trees, knows how to respect them by not taking all the essence of the mushroom, to leave it a chance to be present the following year. Volatile, playful, the truffle sometimes appears in abundance, sometimes sparingly. It was Olivier's truffle hounds who flushed it out during a digging demonstration. You can attend this sweep of smells, this olfactory treasure hunt, which will be followed by a tasting.

      Truffles can be tasted very simply, on a good piece of fresh country bread, with butter, a pinch of good salt and fine grated strips, it is a delight for the taste buds. Store it in an egg carton to impart its flavor to the egg through the shell. With scrambled eggs or a fried egg, in flakes or thin strips, it is exquisite. The black truffle can be part of more complex dishes, it transfers its powerful aromas, its rustic and elegant taste at the same time... In sauce, to garnish meats or vegetables, in combination with foie gras, it sublimates dishes! Come and taste black truffles and summer truffles, depending on the season, at Grand Merlhiot truffle estate.
