Truffle Oil - Peterborough

[jesleb]

I've been looking for truffle oil in Peterborough but have come up empty.

Would anyone know where I can buy this in my area without having to travel to Toronto? The Oshawa / Whitby area is easy for me to reach as well.

Thanks!

The closest place is probably Lakefield "In a Nuttshell"
Bridgenorth Boy "Living large on the Lake!"

Try FireHouse Gourmet on Hunter Street East. I have also bought some from In A Nuttshell in Lakefield (though you may want to call first to see if they still have any).

The "glitzy shmaltzy gift" look is exactly why I haven't went in before. I think I'll take a drive out this weekend.

I've been in FireHouse several times and didn't ever notice it, but didn't really look either. I don't venture into east city all that often so I forgot the store was even there.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll find it now.

Zip on down to Herma's Fine Foods and Gifts on hwy 28, just north of the 401, tell her Karen from Ottawa sent you.

great thanks! Is that the gift store beside the produce market? I go to the market all the time but have never went in the store - it may not be the place you mean. Either way, it would just be a little furthan down 28. Thanks agin.

ya, its next to "Vander..." something fruit market, has an interlock front entrance if that helps. Do walk in, youll have trouble walking out again!

Hermas is a shock when you walk inside, but you'll have to get past the glitzy shmaltzy gift section. Beyond that you'll find a warren of really high end products - from ingredients to utensils. Really a godsend for this part of the world.

Hermas is a shock when you walk inside. Go through the shmaltzy gift section and you'll find a warren of rooms stocked with all sorts of high end stuff from ingredients to utensils. A real godsend when you live out in this area and suddenly need, well, truffle oil for example.
