Question

Did you know? Truffles were traditionally hunted with pigs — female pigs go wild for the scent, which mimics the boar sex hormone androstenone. Today dogs are mostly used, because pigs often ate the truffles before their handler could rescue them.

Truffles were traditionally hunted with pigs — female pigs go wild for the scent, which mimics the boar sex hormone androstenone. Today dogs are mostly used, because pigs often ate the truffles before their handler could rescue them.

Truffels werden traditioneel met varkens opgespoord — vrouwtjes-varkens worden ondeunend door de geur die op het vrouwelijke geslachtshormoon androstenon lijkt. Vandaag gebruikt men meestal honden, omdat varkens de truffels vaak opvraten voor hun baasje ze kon redden.
