Trufflings You Might Not Know (But Should)

White truffles are nature’s divas—rare, wild, and deeply aromatic.

Aroma? They smell like garlic, honey, hay, and something you can’t quite name.

Their flavor? Subtle. Elegant. Best when they’re not fighting for attention.

Wild Things—they grow where they want, when they want, and humans have yet to farm them successfully. That’s part of the reason real white truffles can cost $525 for 3 ounces. (But with our White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil you don’t need to pay that to taste the magic.)

Ever wrestle a pig for a truffle? White truffles can only be found by trained dogs (or the occasional pig)? Pigs were traditionally used, but they tended to eat the prize—so dogs became the truffle hunter’s best friend.

Location Limited: White truffles grow mostly in parts of Italy and the Balkans.

The largest white truffle ever: weighed over 4 pounds and sold for $61,000—making it, quite literally, a buried treasure.

Truffles and Trees: White truffles grow underground in symbiosis with the roots of specific trees—mostly oak, hazel, poplar, and beech. No tree, no truffle.

Scent Science: The distinct smell of white truffles comes from sulfur compounds—the same family that gives garlic, onions, and even durian fruits their punch. However, their aroma begins to fade within days of being unearthed. That fleeting freshness is part of what makes them so legendary.

Truffle Season: White truffles are typically harvested from October to December—making them a short-season luxury and a prized winter ingredient.

Black Market Fungus: Because of their high value, white truffles are sometimes the subject of underground markets and truffle fraud. Some unscrupulous sellers even inject aroma enhancers to mimic the real thing.

Wild Harvesting Only: Despite years of agricultural attempts, white truffles cannot be reliably cultivated, unlike some black truffle varieties. Nature keeps her secrets.

Love Lore: In ancient times, truffles were considered an aphrodisiac and a divine food, believed to be created by thunder striking the earth. We don't want to steal anyone's thunder, but they may have been on to something. One molecule found in white truffles—androstenone—is also found in male human pheromones. Some scientists think this might explain why their scent feels so… alluring.
