Why are they so expensive?

They are rare I guess, but I think more importantly they're very labour intensive to find. Since you can't produce them on an assembly line, it's pretty pricey to get a pig and sniff around for underground mushrooms. It takes a lot of time just to find one, and people need to be paid for that time. More likely they get paid a pittance, and the wholesalers who buy them slap on a giant fee because they know they're worth more.

they are costly because of the fact they are very demanding to discover, can't be grown commercially, in user-friendly terms strengthen in specific woody circumstances, and flavor so good that persons are arranged to pay for them to be cooked by ability of gifted chefs. they flavor like a musty good mushroom, and are very strongly flavoured, they often are used to comprehensive a dish particularly than because of the fact the biggest function, shaved right into a wealthy creamy soup, or over a gentle rissotto. you ought to purchase oil enfussed with truffle fairly inexpensively so seek for out some and it furnish you with the flavor without the fee. this oil is super for including to mushroom soup for occasion.
