What use do you think the Celtic druids gave to truffles and why? Here we tell you a little of what we have been reading. As early as the 4th century B.C., these ancient priests venerated truffles. The Druids of the Celtic lands of Wales, Ireland and Scotland used them in the elaboration of their potions and in their rituals.
