What can the visitor find Mercatrufas?
Our truffles come from forests or plantations of truffle growers in the province of Soria freshly harvested sustainably, in their right point of maturity and maximum aromatic potential. Specialized technicians identify one by one the truffles and classified by grade. Similarly, these technicians work explaining to consumers how to differentiate species, qualities and flavors of different truf-fles to prevent fraud. Finally, the prices of truffles are much more competitive market being a direct sale from the producer to the consumer.
Soria Mercatrufas complements the market with tastings of tapas made with truffle exhibition of the different species of truffles and its aromas and in-formative talks about the ecology of the truffle and its use in the kitchen.
Soria Mercatrufas encourages those who visit us to use our truffles in the kitchen, a valuable product, of which only a small amount is needed to flavor many dishes, making it affordable to most pockets luxury.
