Paul Miros of Woodford Truffles, praises with his dog, Baccio, an Italian Lagotto Romagnolo breed, commonly used for truffle-hunting, on the family farm, for finding a Black Winter Perigord truffles in an orchard of specially-planted oak trees, close to the town of Ceres, in the Western Cape Province, on July 15, 2021. Here, the truffle season lasts between the last week on June to early August. - It took six years of trial-and-error, and tonnes of calcitic lime to redress soil acidity, before the first truffles were unearthed. Today the family is South Africa's number one Perigord grower and supplier, with almost 100 hectares of truffle orchards planted on farms across the country. (Photo by RODGER BOSCH / AFP)
