Watch out Italy and France - TKK in Otaniemi developing Truffles using new technology!18.08.2009 00:00
New cultivating technology and methods to grow truffles have been discovered by researcher Dr Salem Shamekh. It is an exciting break through which can also help with the cultivation of certain mushroom types also.
The idea to try cultivating truffles got its start in the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Faculty of Chemical and Materials Sciences Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory. Publicity garnered by the research has increased the number of citizen contacts, and the discovery of truffles indigenous to Finland has reinforced the idea of successfully cultivating them.
Staff at TKK are set to put Otaniemi on the map and hopefully gain the same recognition as traditional truffle cultivators in Italy and France in the future. Perhaps they can also learn something from this new technology that has been discovered in Otaniemi?
