Chances are, you know a truffle lover.
There is something about the edible fungi (yes, the truffle is a type of mold) that grows underground near the roots of trees that snares so many people’s taste buds. But some people are a little more obsessed than others. So much so, that they’ll order anything off a menu that says the words “truffle”.
As it turns out, truffle is good for far more than being shaved atop freshly cooked pasta. In fact, it can be infused in just about anything, from olive oil and hot sauce to cheeses and even skin care. That means that there are a ton of truffle-inspired (and infused) products on the market that are great for gifting the truffle lovers in your life.
If someone you love is a fan of truffles, you got this year’s gift in the bag thanks to this list of crowd-pleasing truffle-inspired items.
