Luxury food drinks pictures 200000 white truffle was sold

Last week an Italian white most expensive truffle weighing just over 1 kg was sold at an international charity auction for $200,000. The prized tuber went for the second year running to Hong Kong-born casino mogul Stanley Ho after an auction held simultaneously in Rome, London, Abu Dhabi and Macau, auction organizers said.

The 1.08-kg truffle — the biggest found in Italy this year — was flown first class to Macau, with an Italian chef accompanying it, for Saturday’s auction after it was picked on November 21 in the central Molise region. Truffles can vary considerably in size and are prized in Italian cooking for their flavor and aroma.
