Looking to try Imaia gigantea? Look no further

This Native truffles flavor and aroma are reported to be quite good, being described as earthy, mossy, fruity, funky, spicy, soft like moss, yet sharp like cheese.

The Blue Ridge Truffle, or Imaia gigantea, is pronounced “ee-ma-ee-uh”.

 First discovered by Sanshi Imai, a Japanese mycologist, this truffle is now gaining recognition here in Appalachia as it is the only other place in the world that it has been found so far.

You will never find any synthetic ingredients in our truffle products; only real pink Himalayan salt and Dog harvested truffle foraged from WNC. 

Dog foraged truffles are far superior to human raked truffles - raking the forest a practice that not only damages the sensitive mycorrhizal threads, plants, habitat and soil structure of the forest, it also damages the integrity of the truffle culture in the USA, as raked truffles are almost always of lesser quality - rakers unearth unripe truffles that have no culinary value. By using a dog, you ensure that the truffles you are harvesting are mature and will have that amazing peak aroma. Most importantly, you can rest assured that when Eva is hunting truffles, we are all having an amazing time.

This high-quality truffle salt accents a variety of tasty dishes: try it on pasta, pizza, popcorn, and more. 

Sold in 1.5 glass jars.

sidenote:
Just because a truffle is harvested in Appalachia, doesn't make it an Appalachian truffle - If you are looking for Tuber canaliculatum, keep looking! Most people hunting these in the wild are using their finds to inoculate truffle trees for cultivation. Hopefully soon they will be available for eating.
We hope to find some productive T. can patches ourselves, but in the meantime have been busy with hunting the Blue Ridge Truffle - Imaia gigantea.
