Thanks for sharing such a good video.
Super interesting. Thanks for this!!!!
This was a great video to watch!
Fantastico!!!
Italian truffles ARE available from Fallon & Byrne in Dublin
Wow, interesting to watch any information as to is very special and very appreciated food. Thank you.
I would be like " If you stick the truffle in your nose you pay double"
yeah, and no chef in the world would ever buy from you again. they dont touch them, but you have to get close to get the full scent. if you don't let them do that, you have no place in this business.
bravo
These things grow in the dirt, what thing that make them smell so incredible ?
A one-of-a-kind flavor...and demand.

I wonder how much the mark up is on white truffles in restaurants. Like if they are paying $2500 per Kg how much do they charge the customers at restaurants on this same Kg of white truffles on average?
immense. they also pay 4.500 Euros per KG (at the time of the video, likely more today), not dollars, and a gramm will sell for about 25-30 Euros to the customer in the restaurant. so low-balled the mark up will be around 20.500 Euros. Yes, you read that correctly. However, you are not selling a KG to the customer. And you have immense running costs in these restaurants, so the actual profit from the mark up is way less ofc.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖
can i have pizza with white truffle topping on it ??
If you have to ask , do not bother , they are amazing, people spend on wine as well , correct?
what's the best type of truffle? and how much is it?
the white alba truffle. It is the only one that cannot be cultivated, and the KG is between 4000 to 6000 Euros, depending on time of year and availability.
@@104thironmike4 its called Tuber magnatum pico or white truffle.
Alba is city in Italy who branded this truffle as something that grows only around their small town.
@@nevencuca1680 Thank you!
@@104thironmike4 no problem. It is interesting story and genious marketing of Giacomo Morra a truffle expert from Alba, who was sending the best truffles to famous people around the world so the funghi gets recognition. Winston Churchil, Merylin Monroe and other were reciving the Alba truffles so they became famous.
Then the demand grew higher and Italians couldnt find enough of them. So they went across the border to Istria, a region of Croatia because its the same climate.
The Istrians were finding something as they were harvesting potatoes and they fed pigs with it. They called it a smelly potatoe.
First they were exchanging them for some Italian goods, later sold, but very cheap.
It was until 1999 and the found of 1,3 kg white truffle by Istrian Giancarlo Zigante, the world record at that time, that the Istrian truffle get worlds recognition and is now also branded as high quality Tuber Magnatum Pico.
Now are Istrians buying from other regions and east European countries and selling under their brad, like Italians did in the past.
So thats a bit of history so you dont get scammed :)
The very best white truffles do come from Alba or better to say Piedemont region where this town is located, but there are a handful regions more here in east Europe where the same quality truffles grow.
Less talky, more truffle showing.
You know this shits legit when you need cops to supervise lol
whoever has the opportunity for this product, let me know
white truffle is diamond.
I’m not sure I had white Truffle before. I think I had black truffle.
respect for the earth :>
why would he put the leaves back on their place like he is stealing
Mohi Hashmi so you don’t leave holes in the ground. you’re gonna dig stuff, put back the dirt where you found it and how you saw it. He has great respect for the earth 👍
@@stephanzondiros Exactly yeah. This is exactly what I thought later on. He is a gentleman.
That's just common sense. Unless you like to leave holes all over the place and when you come back some time later, you fall in those holes and hurt yourself. We do it with digging wild yams and other root crops. Always burying the holes.
it's actually because the truffle can grow again in the same spot the year after so he already knows approximately where the truffle is
Hi

Many of the truffles are coming from Eastern Europe. Italians are buying at a lower price and pretend to be a local product.
90% actually and its much better quality than italian, almost triple of their shelf life
@@tommylee722 Do you even wonder why the shelf life is higher? No?
