A famous producer of truffles, <strong>Provence<\/strong> harvests truffles from November to March.<br \/>The black truffle of Provence is also known as the &#8220;black truffle of P\u00e9rigord,&#8221; but its scientific name is tuber melanosporum.<br \/>No area in Provence has been granted a designation of origin for truffle products. This is also because the environment in which truffle growing takes place has no influence on the quality and flavor of the truffle-the only factor that affects it is the climate. Attributing a designation of origin to truffles, therefore, would make no sense. Moreover, the presence of the truffle depends on so many factors that its production and regularity vary from year to year. It is therefore rare and valuable. And it is also one of the agricultural products for which demand far exceeds supply.      <\/span><\/p>\n<p>For black truffle enthusiasts, don&#8217;t miss the <a href=\"https:\/\/itourprovenza.it\/mercato-del-tartufo-di-richerenches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Richerenches Truffle Market<\/strong><\/a>.
