We've heard all that jazz about Black Truffle, that great European gastronomic treasure, but for some reason or the other have never actually tried it. (Too poor, probably and too busy eating yummilicious chinese food!) Anyhow, recently someone gave us a bottle of Black Truffle sauce and suddenly there we were, at our virgin tasting of this famous food.
Out of the bottle and onto crackers, it had a surprisingly sharp aroma (almost garlicky) that one could smell all over the house and an intense mushroomy, slightly earthy, yet delicate taste. Surprisingly delicate really, I'd have thought black truffle would be something that grabs you by the throat and makes you swoon with lust. To be honest, it was not what we expected. But then I'm not sure what we expected...
