The satisfaction of shaving a truffle the way you like, and keeping in mind each slice delivers individual independent satisfaction. The cutting is not left up to waiters who have no idea what they are doing, or owners who shave it by the gram. This truffles was a week old or more and was maturing and was in its prime, so we finished it, the sharing of Alba white makes life so wonderful. Shaved to perfection, I shape it as I like to maintain a multiple of surface size to choose from.
