Truffle-growing properties of the Tonda Giffoni hazelnut

The Conda Giffoni fruiting hazelnut (Corylus avellana tonda giffoni) is a variety of French origin, living in perfect symbiosis with the truffle. As a vigorous and very productive hazelnut tree, it adapts to all types of soil, even limestone (hence its capacity as a truffle host). It likes fresh, humus-rich and well-drained soils. It resists to the cold until -15°C. It produces large round hazelnuts with firm and very fragrant flesh. Its excellent hazelnuts are harvested from mid-August. This hazelnut tree will delight you with its abundant production of delicious hazelnuts and delicate Burgundy truffles.

About the Burgundy truffle (Tuber uncinatum)

This is likely the most common edible truffle variety in Europe. This autumn truffle is distinguished by its black exterior (peridium). Inside, the flesh is dark brown. And it is distinguished by its very present white veins. The Burgundy truffle is an edible mushroom prized for its delicate flavors. As its vernacular name suggests, the Burgundy truffle was historically found mainly in east-central France. While it has since spread very widely well beyond this region, in France, Burgundy, Champagne, and Lorraine and Alsace remain the regions favored by Tuber uncinatum.
