That's rights, Tennessee truffles. Not from the forests of France or Italy. They are grown right here in the US by a man named Tom Michaels and he only sells Black Winter truffles. I first heard about him from reading one of my favorite blogs, Ideas In Food.
We ordered these truffles a few days ago for a banquet we have coming up soon. Their texture, smell, and taste is quite unique and makes them stand out from regular perigord truffles from France.
any idea what the latin name of these truffles is. Perigord Truffles are Tuber Melanosporum, are you saying these are something different ?

These are Perigord. I was merely referring to the texture and smell of these particular truffles. They are slightly different all around and I think it has to do with the terroir (like wine) in Tennessee as apposed to France or overseas...
ReplyDeleteNice truffles, we get our's from Oregon.
