Description
 
Truffles are one of the rarest and most expensive foods in the world and have been prized by gourmets for centuries. Like mushrooms, truffles have a system of root-like structures but unlike mushrooms, truffles never emerge from the surface. Instead truffles are formed below the soil close to a tree's root systems and similar to how Porcini mushrooms live off a nearby tree's nutrients, truffles are the "fruit" of another fungus/tree relationship.

Origin: Italy
Serving size: about 1oz. for 2 people
Uses: White truffles are generally served raw, and shaved over steaming buttered pasta or salads. White or black paper-thin truffle slices may be inserted into meats, under the skins of roasted fowl, in foie gras preparations, in pâtés, or in stuffings.

5 of 5 BIG and fresh white truffles September 30, 2014
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from carmel, CA United States  
I ordered 3oz of white truffles from O&O and they gave me the option to get one big piece or two smaller ones.
The smell and the flavor are like those that I used to find in Italy.
