By now the majority of people know that when they see truffle on a menu– the real offer, not simply truffle oil— it’s going to cost them a pretty penny. Expensive Truffles, which grow underground and are quietly foraged with the assistance of trained pet dogs, offer off a distinctive flavor that no other component can match. That’s why chefs and cooks are prepared to pay up to $1200 a pound for these mushrooms (though seldom do individuals get such a big amount).
Most truffles grow to be about 30-60 grams in size, which indicates that simply one will set an individual back anywhere from $30-75. But Australia has simply produced a black truffle that weighs about 2-3/4 pounds and has offered for in between $2000 and $2500 (the specific cost has not been revealed). That’s best folks, this single mushroom costs more than what the majority of us make in a month.
Grown by Ted Smith of Yelverton Truffles in Robertson, Australia, this gigantic truffle is the 2nd largest recorded in the history of truffle growing– the first was found in France. Smith started growing these black mushrooms a few years back as a retirement job– look like things are going quite well.
