Spanish wines and truffles at Fayetteville Wine Society meeting

[Thomas]

Don't know about the 'petrol' note, but truffles do have a pungent earthiness to the taste. It's possible to use too much; that can make the taste seem overboard. Just a tiny dribble does the trick.


If on the bottle anywhere it reads truffle essence or truffle aroma, it isn't the real stuff.

As for brands, it is difficult because prices are all over the map.

I've tasted Urbani and Eugenio Brezzi and liked them. There's about a $4 spread between them ($16-$20) for about 1.5-to 1.75 oz.
