No doubt one of the reasons they are expensive is the status. It is seen as a highly exclusive thing that even the highest quality restaurants only buy a few of, but it's also a matter of supply and demand. And many not liking it. It's not really unusual that expensive/exclusive things are a thing for the few, not just for the price, but also the fact that people just doesn't like it. Give a normal person a glass of 1000 euro wine and most would spit it out or swallow it out of pure principle. Some people would say that it's an acquired taste, others would say that people just like it because it's exclusive. But well, can't really say much about truffles. I've tried truffle oil, but those were most likely made from some cheap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only add that white truffles and perigord are so expensive also (mainly) because they are very rare and they can be found only in very small and specific areas... unfortunately there are also a lot of troubles with falsification of the origins of the product..as always happens with things that can give a lot of money to the cheaters... the most common types are not so expensive... p.s I don't like truffles (of any kind) either...

Sindo 1,275 Posted March 25, 2019 #127 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah, main reason is that you can not make it grow by yourself. I'm not a fanatic but I like it, especially if I don't have to pay it phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
