Calzone al tartufo – Mozzarella, truffle


A calzone is an Italian turnover made from pizza dough and stuffed with cheese (usually mozzarella cheese and Ricotta, but some varieties contain Parmesan, Provolone, or a locally substituted cheese), ham or salami, vegetables, or a variety of other stuffing.

I ordered one calzone with truffle. Or that is what they say it contains truffle. However I really doubt real truffle is used with the price less than 15 euro. It does have some truffle taste and it was very yummy. But my friend told me the food industry developed a chemical taste like truffle to fool the brain. Since I do not the chef, I am always suspicious.
