Beliga caviar is more expensive. Safron is currently the most expensive. Black truffle would be 3rd place but depending on the year Osetra caviar matches it. Having said that you made a lovely video, well done!
Are those the ones that grow only when lighting strikes the ground? I have some of those in my fridge they're rear but they have a similar texture and that marbling pattern only they're white...
They're sold for 30-50 IQD for 1kg which is the equalivent of 25-45 USD depends on the size of the fungus and how clean it is
OMG it is white truffle that we have here in iraq I just googled white truffle and they're exactly the same as the ones that I have looool only they're sold for practicaly nothing compared to how much is italy selling it for hahaha
Now how do I smuggle those outside of iraq that's the real question 😂

Why truffle smells so strong and weird?
Organic sulfur compounds … sulfur is key elements in many bad smell and good smell compounds . Bad smell is due to hydrogen sulfide H2S and carbon disulfide ..
Truffles. Probably smells of dirty socks.
Have to admit, this video was kind of a bummer.
👍👍👍
I’m here bcoz of Nicholas cage movie pig.

Raises question: Why aren't they grow in farms?
+MJ P Apparently truffles could not be grown with conventional agriculture methods and eluded understanding until the 1800s. There are ways to grow them that are aided by the presence of some tree species' roots, but production was dramatically decreased by WWII attacks and subsequent industrialization.
+MJ P
This is a well known problem. The trees roots must be “inoculated” with a part of the fungus “roots” (Mycorrhizal symbiosis) and taken
care for about 10 year before expecting truffles! Evidently the result is
highly dependent on the weather. The trees cultivated for that purposes in the
South of France are oaks and hazelnut trees.
BECAUSE They take 6 to 7 years for the First Cultivation if u r lucky enough. (According to BBC's Country file Summer Diaries)
Dam Good Question Dave!
They are now grown in cultivation buts its kept hush hush from mainstream.
Its simple to grow them. Just find a truffle that is shedding spores dig round some oak trees find some side roots coming off a main root. Place the truffle there, cover back over with soil and leaf mould. Plant a young sappling next to it, either oak or hazel as a marker. then just leave it un disturbed for about 2 years. with in that time it will spread, then around the 4 year mark it will start producing the fruits we call Truffles. An underground fungus/mushroom. Any one who says they cannot be grown in cultivation do not know Truffles and has probably never dug one up in their lives, But know so much about them.
