How To Use Truffle Pasta Sauce in Your Kitchen

What Are Truffles?

Before we talk about the reasons you enjoy truffle-infused products, let's explore what truffles are and where they come from.

They're technically edible fungi, and they're in high demand because of their scarcity and how long they take to grow to maturity.
