意大利冷知识：卖到天价的松露

卖到天价的松露

松露这种食材很贵，这个众所周知，但具体能贵到什么程度呢？

意大利目前拥有最高的纪录：一坨卖到333,000美元，也就是230多万人民币。

In 2007, a dog named Rocco discovered a truffle in Tuscany that weighed 3.3 pounds. It sold at auction for $333,000 (USD), a world record for a truffle. A truffle is the fruiting body of a subterranean ascomycete fungus. Some of the truffle species are highly prized as food. French gourmet Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin called truffles "the diamond of the kitchen". Edible truffles are held in high esteem in French, Italian, Croatian, Slovene, Ottoman, Middle Eastern and Spanish cuisine.

2007年，一条名叫罗科的狗在托斯卡纳发现了一块重3.3磅的松露。它在拍卖会上被以333,000美元的价格售出，刷新了松露的世界纪录。松露是地下子囊真菌的子实体。有些种类的松露作为食物非常珍贵。法国美食家让·安特赫尔姆·布里拉特·萨瓦林将松露称为“厨房的钻石”。食用松露受到法国、意大利、克罗地亚、斯洛文尼亚、奥斯曼帝国、中东和西班牙菜系的推崇。
