Truffle no.2 found!

A few weeks back Stew found another truffle growing next to our original find - and it was bigger and ripening nicely. He's been closely monitoring it and after a good sniff yesterday we decided to harvest it.

What a specimen! It weighed 102grams and was a great shape. Blacker than the first and hard - no signs of rot. Smelt good too - pungent enough to be the real deal. Cutting into it, it has a nice marbelling as well.

We enjoyed a very special breakfast with our best mates this morning who were staying overnight. Now to google more truffle recipes! We've already had some great tips and advice from a talented local chef.
