In the last week I have bought two beautiful white truffles from Surfas in Culver City. They seem to arrive on Thursday and sell out in 24 hours. Very fresh. Very delicious and aromatic.

How much ? And where are those white suckers sourced from ?

[maudies5]

They were from Italy. I paid about $150 for each one. I don't remember the exact weight .

[gjrubino]

Thanks for the info. I used to live in LA and shop at Surfas

[maudies5]

I know they got a shipment today and sold most within an hour of opening. Worth calling to see if any are still available.

Surfas will most likely have them... call ahead.

Which Farmer/Stand at Studio City Market?
Is it the Mushroom guys, 'cause I've never seen truffles there before..
