A thrilling journey through the hidden underworld of the world's most prized luxury ingredient.

Beneath the gloss of star chefs and crystal-laden tables, the truffle supply chain is touched by theft, secrecy, sabotage, and fraud. Farmers patrol their fields with rifles and fear losing trade secrets to spies. Hunters plant poisoned meatballs to eliminate rival truffle-hunting dogs. Naive buyers and even knowledgeable experts are duped by liars and counterfeits.

Deeply reported and elegantly written, this page-turning expos documents the dark, sometimes deadly crimes at each level of the truffle's path from ground to plate, making sense of an industry that traffics in scarcity, seduction, and cash. Through it all, a question lingers: What, other than money, draws people to these dirt-covered jewels?

Consider ordering one size larger than you normally wear.
Size: Medium, Color: Ice Blue, Number of Items: 1
Excellent quality shirts available in so many colors. Take note though....the sizes do run true to size BUT more of an athletic slimmer fit. If you don't want to be "tight" then order one size larger. If you're very athletic and fit....then order true to your normal size, just know the shirt will be "form fitting" and not loose.
