An extraordinary experience with truffles and foie gras
Truffle is an underground fungus that grows in association with the roots of trees such as oaks and hazelnuts and is found in France, Italy, Spain, Australia and several other countries. It is appreciated for its distinctive aroma and intense flavor, making it a prized ingredient in haute cuisine. There are different varieties of truffles, the most famous being the black truffle and the white truffle.
It is very common to wonder why truffles are so expensive, since a kilo of truffles can cost hundreds of euros or even thousands of euros depending on their freshness and quality. Here are some reasons for the price:
- Difficult to cultivate because they require specific soils, trees and conditions.
- They are naturally rare because their growth is unpredictable and this makes them more difficult to find.

Let your imagination run wild and explore different ways to pair truffles, whether with your favorite dish or through creative mixes that highlight their unique flavor.

To eat foie gras with truffles, simply prepare a salad to your liking, add foie gras pieces and truffle slices, or simply place the truffles on the side of a plate of foie gras with some toasts of quality fresh bread.
You can mix the extra brushed black truffle with hot dishes such as pasta or foie gras risotto, also with sauces, oils or any other gourmet dish since these release their natural aroma once grated.
If it is in peels, it can be incorporated into fine and delicate dishes, also in sauces, stews, as a garnish for cold dishes and on cheeses, with pâté or foie gras.
