"The positive emergence of the Black Truffle from Teruel is beginning"💥🖤 Germán Muñoz is the founder of Terroir34: "In the past, truffles didn’t have a name. You could taste an excellent prouct, but you couldn´t tell it apart" 👏

"The truffle is the key that can help us showcase other products we offer"🔑🖤 Daniel Oliach Lesán, @ctforestal, explains how: "The truffle helps us promote our region and, moreover, it can help us introduce the other products we have"🔝

"If we see the person next to us as competition that's going to take something away from us, we're not going to get anywhere." José Manuel Pérez, President of @atrusoria, explains the importance of all regions being connected and supporting one another

"When I talked about truffles, people looked at me with a poker face”🗣️ Juan María Estrada, engineer at Inotruf, explains how talking about truffle farming in Teruel back in the 80's sounded like madness❌ But the vision started to change, thanks in part to people like him

🍽️Gastronomy is a powerful tool to 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐲 and 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐲 local products.🗣️"Producers, consumers, restaurants, sellers, and administration must be very connected and then spread it to whole world", says 𝐌𝐚𝐫í𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐬é 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐚, 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟 @ELBATAN2011 #truffle

The study of truffles in provinces such as Teruel was not always well accepted. 🗣️𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨 𝐄𝐝𝐨, agricultural engineer from Teruel: "Many people told you that we were crazy. When the first truffle plantation appeared, they started to see it differently". @CITAAragon

Visibility is essential to promote the truffle's projection. 🗣️"One of the most important things is to make itself known. The hotel and catering schools are the vehicle", says 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐨 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬, former president of @TrufaTeruel and Spanish Federation of Truffle Growers.

Betting on truffle plantations is a way of caring for and valuing the territory 🔝 🗣️ "It'll enable people to continue living and not talk about depopulated Spain and talk about 🌟 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬", Yolanda Santos, Councillor of @Ayto_Soria  @dpteruel

The 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 attracts visitors from all over the world🌍 🗣️Gianfranco Berni, President Italian Federation of Truffle Growers says: "There is a huge demand and a huge passion for this hobby, for these experiences. It's seeing the truffle production chain".

𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐜, ex-president of the French Truffle Growers Federation (FFT) and the European Truffle and Truffle Growers Group (GETT), highlights truffle production in countries such as France, Italy and Spain. 🗣️"The market needs us to provide truffles"

The knowledge of the 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 in the province of Teruel has more than half a century of history. Today it is the province with the highest production of black truffle in the world (60 tonnes/year). What is the next step? 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥 Brito @TrufaTeruel raises trufitourism.

💪The black truffle of Teruel is an engine of 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 and 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 development for @GudarJavalambre  This sector, as Joaquín Juste president @DPTeruel says, is key to the development of the territory, attracts 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 and places Teruel in the map🗺️
