Fresh truffles are a highly seasonal, rare product that can be hard to acquire (not to mention expensive). Thankfully, there are options for the wallet-weary or the beginner gourmet. This Italian Summer Truffle Paste with Porcini Mushrooms is made on a peanut oil base. It makes an excellent base to sauces and creams. Porcini and truffles complement each other, and do not overpower. Imported from Italy.
