The Beginner's Guide to Truffles
Yolo, brothers and sisters. Today is all about truffles. Fresh truffles. You know, those mysterious nuggets of funk that cost about as much as half of one of Jay-Z’s yachts by weight. Since beginning a career in culinary a little over a year ago I’ve been curious in truffles; what they are exactly, how to use them, where they come from, etc. I’m a curious boi, what can I say. This video is meant to remove the veil of eternal darkness shrouding truffles, and to educate you all on the mysterious luxury ingredient. So that you know what you’re getting into, the questions I answered in this video are written out below. Happy cooking, family. 🤘🏻Adam
What are truffles?
What do truffles taste like?
Are there different types of truffles?
How are truffles collected?
How do I store fresh truffles?
How do I use fresh truffles?

Yoooo that's awesome! Do you sell online?
Truffles have such a unique flavor!! They’re so garlicky and earthy. Had some truffle oil and truffle chicken and it was absolutely DELICIOUS
I am from Qatar .My family love to spend time looking for truffle . This year only my uncle gave me 2 kilos of white truffles .we cook them within a week from finding them , usually with rice or in the oven with butter or even in the microwave and the taste is still powerful . I think boiling truffles with rice is the worst method , yet it is the most popular way to eat it in the Arabian Gulf .

I just bought some spores etc of morel and truffle. My 4 acres outside the city always grows a TON of random mushrooms. So I figure I’d give it a try. I’ll comment in 4 years so u can come pick them up w/in 5 days if all goes well. 😂😂

Fun, focused, fast and informative video. I'm working with a guide at the Truffle museum in Sorges in South West France, teaching her English so she can feel more at ease when showing anglophile visitors around. So I'll use your video and energy in my next class to zoom in on the essentials. Thanks a lot, c'est vraiment excellente votre video, merci beaucoup!

Hey Trivett. Thank you! That's so cool, I'm honored.
I use truffle salt(with coconut oil) in my popcorn machine and it's better than any theater popcorn iv had...i got the salt from Costco and they had actual truffles there. It was 4 truffles in 2 jars with a little bit of oil in each jar. It also came with a cutter thing...
Truffles taste like very strong mushrooms like mushroom cheese 🤤😍

I dug up something underneath a tree stump. I noticed hundreds of little tiny mushrooms growing and then seen this weird thing half buried around the mushrooms. When I dug it up it was a slimy oval shapped thing,lol. When I split it open there was a round white substance inside. Not sure if this is a truffle. But when I started digging, there are hundreds of these things. Not sure what they are. There is root system that's connecting to the mushrooms growing on the ground

Great content, Adam! I recently bought some White Truffle Popcorn at Trader Joes, and I will be making a video review! Good to know some background about these luxurious truffles!
I went from "Curious Cook" to a final class LCB school alum. Smashed the sub , dude. I was born of marsala and fungi. I really believe you can "cultivate" in a grove OR desert oasis. The prime environment is having a strong small mammalian presence within the biome.
There are many species,of Truffles over 40 in fact, though relatively few of them have a real market value. Cultivated varieties include: - Black or Perigord truffle (Tuber melanosporum) - Winter truffle (Tuber brumale) - Summer truffle (Tuber aestivum var. aestivum) - Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum var. uncinatum) - Oregon Black Truffle (Leucangium carthusianum) - Oregon White Truffle (Tuber oregonense) Not all truffle species are commercially available in the trade.
Well! I sure did learn something. Thank you for this

I have a can of black truffles in a liquid and was wondering if I could dry them out some how.
Buy some good truffle oil. Although it is expensive, when you think about it you’re not going to be cooking with it all the time. A bottle of olive oil goes by much quicker than a truffle one. My truffle oil bottles usually last me 4-5 months even with frequent use.
I know i am watching it after 3yrs but i am gonna be here in upcoming days ❤thank you again 😁

Awesome video man. I currently work in a resturaunt where I have a very direct source for wonderful truffles. And they are in season! (At the end of season but still wonderful) deffinently gonna try truffing some eggs while they are good and pungent. Thanks! If u read this I would love to know how long you truffed yours for. Will do my own research until then!
Crash course on truffles, thanks
I just get truffle oil from TJ Maxx! Cheap, incredible aroma and long shelf life. Really good on pizza!
I'm from India and I never knew that we have truffles here.. I've eaten them but never thought they were truffles I just thought they were rounded mushrooms.. I think the ones we had here are white on the outside and kinda dark in the inside.
What a wonderful video you created. Thank you so much :)

It’s interesting that here they shave some truffle over the gourmet food, while in the Middle East it’s still expensive but they used to eat it whole or cut but in big amount with rice or even in barbecue

Worked in some fine dining restaurant before, and some peel black truffle before usage and some don't. Does peeling make any difference?

I think it's an aesthetic thing. But yes the outside of the truffle is rougher than the smooth interior. I think the darkened ring around the truffle is gorgeous when sliced thin.

Santana Infinity I am by no means in the position to say weather it's TRUE or not but just below your comment is one from a resident of Quatar who claims to cook them and that it's his preferred method to prepair them. Curious as to why the statement that they can not be cooked is present.

He say truffle one more tine imma be convinced he made that word up
Thanks for the info
Truffle cheese is absolutely amazing
I am definatly no expert on terminology but somthing about using the phrase "plant species" has always seemed to me a better fit in describing somthing sentient (although in all likelihood it probably is the correct way to phrase it) such as "animal species". Iv always felt like the term "plant variety" made better fit than "plant species" but on the other hand that's probably why I dont get paid to define proper terms for various things.

Truffle taste like garlic without the strong garlic taste and with a more earthy taste. It's usually the last thing you taste.
Drink every time you hear the word “Truffle”
Good video.....
They ARE mushrooms!
Why do I feel like you can do a spot on Trump impression... lol.... please do one.
Truffs are not related to mushrooms...It's a mushroom, the fruiting body of a specific species of myceliumbumbum number. Also, I my self am a rough skinned mutant chicken nugget sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
