'Diamonds of gastronomy': Industry digs in as truffle demand remains high among chefs

ABC Rural: Jessica SchremmerKnown as the 'diamonds of gastronomy', truffles are highly sought after by chefs across the world, and more growers are entering the industry in Australia.First harvested 20 years ago, Australia is now the fourth largest Perigord black truffle producer globallyTruffles are sniffed-out by dogs or pigs, then harvested by hand

Sue Daly, a nurse by trade, never imagined finding herself in agriculture, but loves to hunt for Perigord black truffles at her 360-tree plantation in central Victoria with her two border collie Labrador cross dogs Holly and Abbie. Australia's first truffle was harvested 20 years ago in Tasmania, but since then the industry has skyrocketed and Australia is now the fourth largest Perigord black truffle producer globally."It's a mysterious fungus that's completely unpredictable from one day to the next. We are not quite sure what we are going to find out here," Ms Daly said.

"It's a big investment in infrastructure, irrigation and soil structure. We played a long game of patience before we harvested our first truffles," she said.
