Tried a truffle honey mix in Salon de Ning a few months ago, but I am not sure if it was synthetically flavored with truffle oil or uses this same ground truffle mixed into the honey. Either way, pairing it with salty cheeses was outtasight :D

Oh, MM, you are soooo lucky to have that!!! Truffle honey is one of my favorite things. Mila knows my story of when I first tasted it — I had to do something quite disgusting, but I maintain that it was worth it! ;-) My friend recently brought back some truffled honey from Florence, and we had it with some Pecorino. It was lovely, but I agree that aged Manchego would be even better, because of the greater contrast in flavor!

Have you tried truffled salami from Italy? My friend brings it whenever she comes to Manila, and I’m telling you, MM, that it is worth every (good) expletive that Anonymous Paul could utter!

bakerwannabe, if you liked store-bought membrillo (quince) paste, try making your own–it is the easiest of all fruit preserves to make since quince is so high in pectin, and home-made knocks even a good store-bought membrillo totally out of the park. I think both bettyq and I have posted directions on this blog in the past.

PITS, the idea that dogs do not eat truffles is a myth. Dogs are popular mainly because they are easier to train and travel with, the truffle hunter must still get to the truffle before the dog does.

Whoa! Truffle! I’m addicted to a burger in Dumaguete na may truffle, bleu cheese and bacon! My third world paycheck makes it hard for me to have truffle as often as i want! truffle reminds me of the oh-so-yummy-goodness-my-mouth-just-had-an-orgasm feeling.

By the way MM, i saw a pic of you with the teen sa isang lifestyle magazine sa Cebu :D

big fan,

Going through this post gave me goosebumps! Nakakakilig ang thought ng cheese and truffle honey. I love manchego! And I was able to try truffle honey for the first time at the Spiral buffet.

Of course in a good way. Manila has been invaded by all things “truffled”. Dousing fries and mac and cheeses and whatnot with “white truffle oil” (of which most oils used are synthetically scented). This truffle honey is undoubtedly made with the real deal.

I had always thought truffles were expensive particularly because it was hard to find a trained pig who could sniff them out in the forest.
