The Art of Truffle Hunting: Reviving Greece's Ancient Delicacy
Truffle hunting in Greece has gained popularity in recent years, especially in regions rich in forests and suitable habitats for these prized fungi.
The country’s diverse climate and landscape provide an ideal environment for various species of truffles, including the highly valued black and white truffles.
In ancient Greece, the truffle was called “Hydnon” and was praised by philosophers, historians, and travelers for its high nutritional value, aphrodisiac properties, and delicate taste.
Philosophers and historians such as Plutarch, Pliny, Cicero, Dioscorides, Theophrastus, Galen, and Athenaeus often mentioned the hydnon in their writings.
Historical sources indicate that the Babylonians and Sumerians were the first to enjoy the earthy delicacy.
