Many of our ingredients are perishable and therefore by necessity, require FEDEX Standard Overnight shipping. There is no way around it - it's costly, and understanding shipping calculations practically requires a degree in actuary science!

In order to help defray your cost of shipping, we have incorporated shipping discounts for many of our finer ingredients. These ingredients are noted on the web site and the discounts will be automatically calculated when the ingredient is added to your cart. These discounts are cumalitive, so you could end up with very low or no shipping charges. (dependant on your location)

The best part is that you might as well add that extra pound of mushrooms, a bottle of truffle oil, some pasta or your favorite "pantry staples" because the shipping costs may not even change!

A popular method is to wrap lightly in a paper towl and store in a container of rice in the refrigerator. The rice helps to absorb moisture and aid in longevity. The Australian truffle will also scent the rice for a delightful risotto! Others wrap in paper then seal in plastic. The key s to ENJOY---but they don't last long so . . . Carpe Diem!
