THE WORLDS MOST PRESTIGIOUS INGREDIENT ARRIVES IN VANCOUVER
(From the Press Release - December 4, 2007)

85 guests have paid $300 per person for a 7 course dinner this Wednesday night featuring these rare white Alba truffles in each dish.
 
Flying into Vancouver International Airport from Italy on Monday evening, the 3 kilos of White Alba Truffles (at $11,000 a kilo, costing more in duty alone than most ingredients) destined for the kitchen of La Terrazza Restaurant arrived in straw lined baskets, each golf ball to racquet ball sized truffle wrapped individually in cloth.
 
Says La Terrazza Executive Chef Gennaro Iorio "this is the most elegant ingredient I have ever had the pleasure of working with"...."the truffles are aromatic and perfectly ripened.
