It tempts you with a crazy umami smell akin to dark chocolate and mushrooms. BC black truffles (Leucangium carthusianum) can be found wild or cultivated in hazelnut farms. They grow in association with the roots of specific trees. 

It’s essential to capture the aroma of the truffle as soon as it is brought out of the ground within 24 hours.  Truffles must be cleaned of any debris or insects and then stored in a paper towel in a sealed container in the fridge. Never wash mushrooms in water, always brush off the dirt or cut it away. You can put ingredients like whole eggs, nuts, olive oil or butter next to a truffle in the container to have the fats bond to the truffle aroma. I left this one overnight with some butter cubes and they were fully aromatic by morning. We're serving this big one and some Alba Truffles from Italy this Friday + Saturday at our Truffle Dinner at the supper club (10 tickets left).
