Predefinito White truffles -- worth the hype and price?

Someone suggested tartuffo bianco, as part of some pasta dish,
apparently.

With tartufi bianchi at GBP £1,500 (or more) per kilo, I'm not
surprised that your query has been met with silence so far, and I
can't speak from experience, I'm afraid. But they say the strong
flavour makes a little go a long way.

I've had some paté flavoured with black truffle, and very nice it was
too.

White truffles are indeed very good, but they don't keep very long and
don't travel well, so I wouldn't buy one at astronomical prices very
far from where it was dug up.

There are a number of truffle fairs near where I live, and when I go
to one, I usually buy a little white truffle and a few bigger black
ones. The white ones definitely have a more delicate flavour. When we
get out of our car at the fair, the aroma of truffles fills the air.

The flavour degrades very quickly as I learned one year when I tried
to keep part of one for a week. You're supposed to keep them wrapped
in a slightly damp cloth (or paper towel) inside a tightly sealed jar
in the refrigerator. However, by the end of the week, it only had a
fraction of the flavour it had had the first time I tasted it.

The price is very high, but you only need a very little bit to flavour
a dish. We have a friend who goes truffle hunting and last year he
invited us and some other friends to an all-truffle dinner.
Appetizers, pasta, two meat courses and side dishes flavored with
truffles. Only one of the courses featured white truffle, the rest
were flavoured with black truffle. A real feast.
