Today … 23/7/23 at 8c and it’s cold and it got wet along the way driving to Red Hill. We are going truffle hunting followed by a 5 course lunch “truffle infused menu” at Monalto’s.
By now… it’s pouring down with rain! After gathering around the fireplace for an information session on growing truffles we set out to hunt truffles with our guide dog Maddie.
We found a few throughout the hour or so outside in the fields and then headed back to the farmshop for welcome drinks and purchase of various truffle inspired produce. Everything tasted so yummz but the one thing I would use and eat most of would be the truffle mustard so I bought 3 jars. The whole range of truffle this n that ie: honey…aioli…paste…mustard… butter etc were $29.00 each!
Obviously we saw how they washed the dirt off the truffles etc and they did smell divine. Now after learning and getting more information about truffles, I totally understand why this fungi is such a delicacy and why it is expensive!!!
Now off to Monalto for our long awaited lunch. 5 course but it was over 3.5hrs and was way too long for my liking especially the serves were tiny apart from the mains! If not for Ozempic I would have had to eat the menu at least 3times over to be satisfied…lol
It’s a wrap! It was a lovely day although we were wet n muddy but I got to spend a whole day out without the kids and just with Becky!!!
