In the US, 3x-4x is a fair differential I think

On itās own, and not comparing to Italian white truffles, I find these interesting, very pungent, the scent goes forever. So maybe no need to compare and just have both for their own qualities?

This may be inappropriate to bring up but my wife and I both noticed that the flavor, um, lingers. Apparently, this is a thing. It was delightful while sipping on a Barolo.
Hmmm, didnāt Samantha on SITC once notice something like that is another realm?
I wish they would respond to contacts. Iād like to delay a shipment until late next week but no one responds.
Like Paul Iām now fluffing eggs for Saturday.
They are very fragrant, Iāve definitely had ābadā truffles much much less so. It does not strike me exactly as a direct substitute on intial smell, but certainly has that pheromone that makes you keep wanting more. Excited to try probably Sat.
First USE:
Fedderson Farms 100% Wagyu beef
Burwell Farms Truffles
Famous Daveās Bun
That is itā¦
As we have heard, donāt thinks these, have the umpff of Italian whites
But the aroma and flavor is pretty awesome, just opening the frigā¦it permeates
I enjoyed themā¦ so farming these the first yr. Wonder going forward, once these get started yrs down the line, would these change flavor
Like Grape vines
Like Paul Iām now fluffing eggs for Saturday.
that made me laugh ā¦nicely played sir.
I will love seeing this question answered in the future.
I think I prefer these microplaned more than shaved.
I plan to re-order going forward. As previously stated, not as a replacement for Italian white truffles but as a separate category. Relative to price, I find them interesting and enjoy over the eggs.

We used a 1 3/8 ounce truffle last night and shaved it onto a 12 inch cheese pizza. It generated a mellow truffle tone with no sharp edges but not the wow factor Iāve experienced from other truffles, but still pleasant and identifiable. Iād call this a subtle truffle.
We have a much more aromatic seeming truffle from the same shipment for pasta tonight.
I am going to steal that, this very night! Thank you! ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}

Just scrambled two of the eggs that had been stored in the fridge with the truffles ā lovely truffle notes on the eggs. Looking forward to pasta this evening with shaved truffles. Though just seeing Timās post may compare shaving to microplaning. My guess is I will prefer the latter as well. I decanted a nice 1997 Barolo this morning to accompanyā¦
I was disappointed in my 2 oz truffle.
Sorry to hear that!
I ordered 2oz.
Wowā¦ I have 1 more oz of truffleā¦ Damn
Simple Eggs Omlet/ salt/butter/ truffle/Montchevre/pepperācreamy middle
Also sorry to hear that. Our 1 3/8 ouncer was so subtle, I can relate to your experience. We have a more aromatic one on deck.
Significant truffle to truffle variation?
I wonder with the Smithsonianās article they havenāt had a significant uptick in orders. Maybe quality has suffered?
