While these look the same, they do not have the same flavor. It is my opinion that people should be able to buy what they want, but should get products as they are represented to them. Store them in the refrigerator until they are soft. When fully ripe, the interior of the winter season Oregon White Truffle is the color of a brown paper grocery bag. The interior of a ripe Oregon Black Truffle is a mottled gray.
Truffles keep fresh longer when they are unwashed and refrigerated.
They should be eaten before they get too soft and any appearing oily should be used immediately. Click here to get truffle and other mushroom ordering information. Click here to go back to the index. Click here to see some mushrooms.
