Pear and Truffle Jam

The Az.Agr. La Spora has dedicated itself for generations, with great passion, to truffle hunting in the land of Abruzzo, on the border between Abruzzo and Molise, the land of Apennine truffles: this is where the Pear and Truffle Jam is born. A specialty prepared with summer truffle: one of the easiest species to find, and the most abundant. It has a long harvesting period, and the summer truffle is widespread all over the world. It has an aroma reminiscent of porcini mushrooms, with notes of hazelnut and undergrowth. Its intensity increases with maturation. Â It has a delicate flavour, leaving a pleasant, non-overpowering aftertaste. This truffle prefers calcareous, well-drained soils and grows mainly in symbiosis with oaks, hazels, hornbeams and lime trees.
