Truffles in Morella
As in every year in February the black truffle plays the leading role in Morella and the surrounding district once again. Menus are thematic and all revolve around this exceptional fungus which is offered in a thousand different ways.
Morella is the Valencian capital of the black truffle, an underground fungus with a tuberculous shape and an irregular and warty surface, exquisite to the tastebuds and of a perfumed and greyish flesh.
The Morella truffle days are completed with conferences, round tables, demonstrations by the truffle sniffer dogs and culinary exhibitions by the great master chefs.

Morella has innumerable reasons to be visited. All of the major civilisations - Iberians, Celts, Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians and Arabs - have left their mark on the capital of the “Els Ports” region, where Bronze Age Neolithic remains have also been found. The city was built at the foot of the castle, and is surrounded by a stout wall. Its privileged enclave, portico streets, Manorial homes, enchanting locations and rich cultural patrimony are just some of the motives that have resulted in it being declared a Historical Artistic Site. These lands were inhabited approximately 60 million years ago by the dinosaurs, and now aspire to become Patrimony to Humanity. |
