For $99.99, you can order two ounces of French-imported Winter Black truffles or Périgord Truffles (Tuber melanosporum) from Costco. Item # 394884. Uniquely the only type of truffle without a tan flesh, these winter marvels have a black or chocolate colored flesh and carry an aroma that is out of this world! These gastronomic treats flourish from January through March when the black truffles have their most intense aroma. These truffles arrive fresh from France having been picked and delivered within a week of leaving the rich soil. Costco will deliver them via UPS 2nd Day Air. As our friend mulegirl said best: "If anyone ever asks you to explain the difference between Costco and Walmart." Now you have...Truffle Fetches $200K at Auction
Neatorama reports that a "1.08 kilogram white truffle was sold at an auction Saturday for $200,000." The lucky purchaser? Casino mogul Stanley Ho, who also purchased last year’s record-holding truffle for $330,000....White Truffle Honey
I've never had white truffle honey, and have never really given trying it much thought, but after Manhattan Users Guide pointed out in today's newsletter that it goes well with roast pork, I felt I had no choice but to put it on my to-do list. How could I possibly say no to something that goes well with both bacon and ice cream? $15 for a 30g (1.05oz) jar at Urbani Truffles....Truffle Hunter Marthe Delon And Her Pig Kiki
Pim's just posted a great entry on Marthe Delon, the legendary truffle hunter and pig trainer, and her Kiki: "From what I gathered, Mme.Delon got her first pig the year she was married, and over sixty years later she is still hunting truffles and training generation after generation of pigs –one each year, and each one given the same name, Kiki. She said she couldn't be bothered remembering the names of them all, so she just called them Kiki. Easy enough, yes?"...The Truffle Baskets of Lalbenque
As a city dweller most of the food I see is pre-packaged now and in stores, so it's easy to forget farmer's markets aren't just novelties in other parts of the world—they're the way people buy and sell food every day. Pim visited the famous Lalbenque truffle market in France recently and posted photos of the lovely baskets the truffles are brought to market in. I talk to the chefs in my neighborhood who prepare my meals, but seeing these baskets, "some handsome, some old, some new, some quite wretched workmanship, and others a marvel of homemade glory", is a reminder of how rarely I have a human connection with the people who work with the ingredients that make up...Truffles, from Forest to Table
The U.K.'s Guardian digs butts its nose into truffle madness: .flickr-photo { } .flickr-frame { float: right; text-align: center; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } White Truffles !!! San Miniato White Truffle Festival, from eljoh1's Flickr stream. Hearing "Dov'è! Dov'è!" (Find! Where is it?) sends [the dogs] away to sniff. If they stop at a particular point the hunter asks, "C'è o non c'è?" (Is it there or isn't it there?) Now comes the tricky part: check the tail. If it looks as if the dog is going to take off, bum first like a furry helicopter, you need to get to him before he gets to the treasure. They are trained, yes, but...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
