I love truffles. It's the best food enhance for both savory and sweet. It's like a concoction of the earth, oysters and beetroot. haha Doesn't sound the best but when infused with eggs or shaved over some honey donuts. Goddamnn it's a party in your mouth! Each year during the ripe season for truffles, we usually travel 3-4 hours out of Sydney to hunt for theses babies. It's more about appreciating the produce and learning where they come from.
Our first experience was in Oberon - Lowes Mount Truffles! $95 per person and this includes a tasting platter of truffle goodness.
We drove up the driveway and was greeted with some fury friends with lush autumn leaves.
The hunt begins with our furry friends!
Looks like poop.. but it's a whopping $457 fungus!
The truffle haul!
Part of our truffle hunting experience, we also received a delicious tasting platter!

If you ever get a chance, tick truffle hunting off your list! It was more about learning how the truffles were formed, harvested and eaten. Also it was a great way to get out the house and smell the earth - literally.
Until next time!
