Despite truffles having a stigma for being an unaffordable luxury ingredient, this season's bountiful harvest means they're not unattainable, selling for $2.50 - $3.00 per gram.
If you're a little unsure of how to use fresh truffles in your culinary creations, Georgie has created unique truffle packs. Grab one to create your own fresh black truffle salt or infused butter!
