Try www.earthy.com (Earthy delights); they've got some neat stuff - pricey, but neat! Baby veggies, turned veggies, and some great oils and vinegars too.

PS - How do I post a website address so that folks can go right to it?

Question Surprised

I'm surprised there aren't more sources from more people other than what's been posted...

Gosh, cchiu, I guess most of us aren't in the truffle category! Where do you live? There's a supermarket, Wegman's, in NY and NJ, that sometimes carries them.

Wegmans like many upscale places sell jarred truffles as well as fresh. However the fresh are usually limited to the Chinese Black and Oregon domestic truffles. Summer White on occasion.
