I appreciate any ideas - be creative. I use truffle oil, juice and paste and am afraid I have been using a much lesser product recently. I've been looking for an excuse to do something with truffles or truffle oil but haven't yet. Fooled all the wine experts for a long time. Ori Thanks for the response.
Chinese truffles act like sponges.
Chinese truffles when paired with the genuine thing take on their scent characteristics. If you placed them next to open red wine or smelly socks they would pick up those scents just as well. Unfortunately, these chinese truffles were found processed in cans, jars, pastes etc. I heard from people in the industry that at the recent Italian food show in Parma, this was all the talk. At least this is what I heard.
