A few years back, before the pandemic…I found out you can order fresh white truffles from Whole Foods. I’m wondering if anyone here has a recommendation for an online place that mail orders fresh Alba white truffles?
As an add on…what are your favorite non-Nebbiolo wines to pair with white truffles? There is part of me that is most curious about white full-bodied wines.
That’s the “down payment”, final price could be different. Depending on the market price and size of the truffles that you receive, we will collect or refund the difference.
Thank you for taking the time to share, I was looking for places that people have already dealt with and had good experiences. Not just places that are selling them. I’ll add this to the OP in the hopes of increased clarity. Of these places you shared, where did you have the best buying experience?
It’s been 15 years since I sprung for one in NY. I had mixed experiences with Citarella. I’m not sure how quickly they sold there. But it’s always a little bit of a crapshoot with truffles. Some just aren’t that fragrant.
Years ago, a friend inquired at Agata & Valentina when their air shipments arrived and swooped in the next day. As I recall, we had good luck with those.
I believe that Urbani supplies many other places, or did. Their retail operation is new in the last 10 years or so, I believe.
Anyone know how the season is looking? Quality? Bounty? Here’s hoping the quality is great and they are plentiful (to drive down prices, as happens fairly regularly.).
