Virgin olive oil is impressively bactericidal: httpss://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17263460 . But I think a prior scrubbing of the truffles with salt (to remove dirt particles) followed by their burial in it for a day should produce peace of mind besides scented salt.

@Joey JJ: you asked in the previous article about foie and truffle? Well, here it is (Footloose’s comment)! Hahahaha, how timely.

Great timely posts, as usual.

A tad prodigal but certain to put one in good humour (if not financially put-upon), one of Bernard Pacaud’s signature dishes, the Feuilleté de truffe fraîche ‘bel humeur.’ A thick section of a whole black truffle (about 100 grams) sandwiched with foie-gras, enclosed in a rich puff pastry, served with sauce Bordelaise thickened with yet more black truffle.

Check out the other pix too in the photo stream for other equally unparsimonious application of black truffle.
