Minister delighted – truffles found in Franconia – Bavaria

After eight years of experiments, the “Franconian truffle” appears for the first time: An attempt to grow truffles on fallow land has now been crowned with an initial success. Agriculture Minister Michaela Kaniber presented the fungus that was found on a test area of ​​the State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture (LWG) in Franconia. The CSU politician announced on Sunday that the find was “a real sensation”. Truffle dog “Elli” sniffed the long-awaited object. Five pieces of the Burgundy truffle were discovered. The truffle feels particularly at home in Franconian forests that stand on limestone soils.
