This market around this culinary jewel will appeal to amateurs and professionals alike. The truffle growers are waiting for you to come along for this sale to private individuals and professionals, an ideal opportunity to discover and deepen your knowledge of truffles.<\/p><h3><strong>Truffles, the black gold of Provence <\/strong><\/h3><p>This product, which enchants French gastronomy, is a veritable culinary diamond for our taste buds. This mushroom has been recognised by gourmets since Antiquity. So unique to our country, it has been emblematic of certain French regions for hundreds of years. The expression \"black diamonds\" was coined in the 18th century by Brillat-Savarin, and was given its rightful place in the Escoffier culinary guide in the 19th century. In Provence, its incomparable aroma is found in several varieties of truffle. First of all, there is the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) or \"black diamond\", the most famous in France and the most widely harvested in Provence. It has a subtle musky aroma, reminiscent of autumn undergrowth. Its flesh is firm and it has very specific white wrinkles under its bark. Another black truffle, the Tuber brumal, also a winter truffle, is slightly less prized, very similar to the 'black diamond', but less fragrant, without the purple tinge and with less veins. Finally, there is a black summer truffle. Black truffles are harvested from November to March and can be enjoyed in the region's restaurants or bought at the truffle market in Aups. Finally, there is the white summer truffle, harvested from June to September, which has a milder flavour than the black truffles, revealing notes of roe and hazelnut.<\/p><h2><strong>Aups: Provence's biggest truffle market<\/strong><\/h2><p>From the last Thursday in November to the last Thursday in March, the annual market in Aups, in the Var department of France, is a must-see in Provence.
