    Do you mean truffles as in chocolate, or as in fungi?

    Fresh, or would stored in oil do? I've never seen a fresh white truffle in Ireland. :(

    I want to try both. Any ideas on a good place to get the ones in oil?

    Sheridans used to sell truffle oil, and black truffles in oil iirc, but we're talking about 3, 4 years ago, haven't been in for anything excepting cheese since then.

    I'd suggest trying the small Italian deli on Millenium walk too. Odds are if you ask and they don't have it, they'll order it over from Italy with the next shipment.

    The only way I can think of you getting your hands on a fresh black truffle would be to call Guillbauld's and ask them very nicely if you could purchase from them.

    My parents got me a small bottle of white truffle oil from Avoca handweavers last year, I used it mainly drizzled over a wild mushroom risotto.

    Saw some in Harvey Nicholls the other day (surely not the cheapest place to buy some)... It was a white truffle preserved in oil. Yours for a very resonable 65 euro. :eek:
