This sounds expensive and complicated and I saw truffle oil at Gristedes so why don't I just buy that? I'm not going to tell you not to use truffle oil; it can be quite tasty drizzled over a pizza bianca or even on some parmesan fries. But don't think for a moment you're getting a true truffle experience here because truffle oil doesn't actually contain truffles. Tricky scientists take plain old olive oil and use chemicals to mimic the flavor of truffles, which is why you can pick up a jar of so-called truffle oil for a fraction of the price of the real deal.

Truffles are best eaten fresh but you can store for a few extra days by covering them in rice, see below , flavouring the rice this way lays the groundwork for a spectacular risotto for when your truffle is almost all gone.
