Mirepoix USA, a leading manufacturer of gourmet foods and traditional French foods, has announced the availability of white truffle mushrooms in Italy.
The company noted that white truffles usually become available in early October and remain available until late December.
Fresh white truffles can be shaved on pasta, risotto, potatoes, eggs, sauces, or with poultry or other white meats such as rabbit or veal. White truffles also pair well with hard Italian cheeses, prosciutto and salami.
Mirepoix USA founder Laurel Pine said that white truffle prices are 25-40% higher than average due to the low supply. Because demand for the luxury food far exceeds the available supply, consumers should place orders early.
Mirepoix USA currently offers over 40 foie gras selections; fresh truffles including summer truffles, Burgundy truffles, Perigord black truffles and Alba white truffles and well as truffle based products; French charcuterie, and a wide selection of caviar.
