More About

Pricing

Black truffle pricing reflects their rarity. Prices can vary significantly based on factors such as truffle type, quality, size, availability, and market demand. The Périgord truffle fetches the highest black truffles price due to its exceptional aroma and flavor – expect to pay anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars per pound, with larger, smoother it being more expensive. Other varieties are more available but not as flavorful nor aromatic, and so have lower price points. Keep in mind it cost fluctuates throughout the year due to seasonal availability, weather, limited supply, and the intricate harvesting process. Despite their high cost, the unique and intense flavor profile of black truffles justifies their value and is something that our customers return to again and gain.

Black Truffles Questions And Answers

Q:What does a black truffle taste like?
A:Black truffles are exquisitely earthy, with a gorgeous musky aroma and nutty, mushroom flavor that is unique and unmistakable. Described as sensuous and satisfying, it’s a taste and flavor that’s both rich and pungent. The taste of a black truffle, freshly harvested, is intoxicating.
Q:What is so special about black truffles?
A:The beauty and magic of dark truffle gems lie in the depth and complexity they bring to dishes, their unique flavor and exquisite aroma amplifying the taste of other ingredients, turning simple foods into remarkable feasts.
Q:Do you eat black truffles raw?
A:Yes! Black truffles are simply shaved thinly into warm finished dishes – cooking the truffles themselves alters and diminishes their flavor. The best way to enjoy them is by using them as a finishing touch on warm dishes or incorporating them into preparations that allow their unique aroma and flavor to shine. From shaving them over hot plates to infusing them into oils or sauces, these methods aim to maximize the truffle's impact and create an unforgettable dining experience.
Q:Is a truffle a type of mushroom?
A:Yes, it is a type of mushroom, but it's a bit different from the mushrooms you might be familiar with. Unlike most mushrooms that grow above ground, black truffle mushrooms grow underground. They don't have a visible cap or stem like a regular mushroom, and the black truffle mushroom price is significantly higher than others.
