Considered the king of all fungi, truffles can cost between US$800 to $1500 a pound with pigs, trained dogs and goats used to sniff out truffles – growing underground beneath truffle oak trees.
Variously described as the diamond of cookery, fairy apple, black queen, gem of poor lands, fragrant nugget, black pearl, and by gourmets as the "holy of holy." Some connoisseurs even insist that truffles are an aphrodisiac.
