Winter Truffles are rare and expensive for a reason. Not only are they simply exquisite in taste and aroma, harvesting them requires truffle dogs and pigs to find them. They grow beneath the surface of the soil and are harvested at peak between November and March. They can be thinly sliced and used to garnish fine hors d’oeuvres like foie gras, or finely chopped and added to stuffing to impart their extraordinary essence. Add them to pasta and butter. Black truffles are often added at the end to rich meaty sauces for a fantastic finish.
