Truffles are found anywhere from 2 to 16 inches below the ground. Because of their high price and their pungent taste, truffles are used sparingly. White truffles are generally served uncooked and shaved over steaming buttered pasta or salads. White or black paper-thin truffle slices may be inserted in meats, under the skins of roasted fowl, in foie gras preparations, in pâtés, or in stuffing. The flavor of black truffles is far less pungent and more refined than their white cousins. It is reminiscent of fresh earth, mushrooms, and when fresh, their scent fills a room almost instantly.

 Truffles have been found in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America. They live in close mycorrhizal association with the roots of specific trees. Their fruiting bodies grow underground.
