Summary: Terrible packaging
Comment: I don't know truffles well enough to speak to the quality of these, but I can say that the jar they come in is a definite detriment to the product. The jar doesn't have a screw-top, but rather a cap something like a beer bottle cap. It has to be pried off -- which is difficult because a standard bottle opener doesn't quite fit -- and it can't be resealed after it's opened. So you either need some alternate container, or you need to use up all your truffles in one "go."
I hope the importer will get on the phone to France and tell them invest a few centimes in some screw-top jars.

Summary: black truffles
Comment: I though this product lack flavor as I taste different brands far better.
There were no real flavor as I expected. Sorry

Summary: beware, these are tuber indicum, not melanosporum
Comment: These are not black winter truffles (Tuber melanosporum). I thought the price was too good to be true, (even though they aren't fresh), and it is. These are Tuber indicums. It says so right on the label.
I was very angry about this, but JR Mushrooms has said they will refund me for the truffles and even let me keep them. So I give JR credit for excellent responsiveness and customer service, although I still feel they should not be labeled "black winter truffles".

Summary: Great Service. Interesting Product
Comment: This review is mostly about the seller. They are great! The product arrived within 2 days, with standard shipping.
I have never had black truffles before. They have a very earthy, smoky flavor that really emerges when lightly sauteed in butter. They are an expensive, pleasant, treat.

Editorial Reviews:

Black winter truffles are far superior to their summer cousins. There is a long pause between the time a truffle reaches full size and the time when it fully matures. Summer truffles are less flavorful since they are dug up before the full maturation period is reached in the winter months. You will always pay more for black winter truffles. Connoisseurs prize them.
