Zuma flies in largest truffle worth Dhs52,000



Dubai’s uber-chic Japanese restaurant, Zuma, has sourced the largest truffle to be imported to the UAE with a weight of 349g, according to an article published in Hotelier Middle East. The Dhs52,350 truffle was brought in all the way from Alba in Northern Italy and will now be served in the restaurant’s dishes that feature the sought-after ingredient. Customers can also request that the truffle be shaved onto their meals — at Dhs150 per gram, with a minimum order of two grams.

There are more than 1000 species of truffle or ‘tubers’ that grow naturally in the soil. Of those about 16 species are edible and the fresh white truffle from Italy is considered the most valued. For around 95% of truffles found, the weight varies from 10 grams to maximum 100 grams. White truffle cannot be harvested or farmed and only grow in a selected areas of Italy — in the Piedmont region —and in some parts of Tuscany.
