âThe quality of life and the future of our transport companies are at stake. I want to do everything I can to ensure that the new European cabotage rules are adjusted. â

GRENOBLE, France (AFP) French researchers announced Tuesday that they had succeeded in cultivating the rare white truffles mainly found in Italy, a breakthrough that could spur more widespread efforts to grow the prized delicacy.
The species, tuber magnatum, is the pride of Italy’s Alba region, with prices at its annual autumn auction that regularly surpass 300 euros for just 100 grams ($360 for 3.5 ounces).
Like their French cousins, the famed black truffles of the Perigord region, white truffles are nearly impossible to transplant to climates that do not have the same soil, fauna or weather conditions.
