I haven't been following this thread closely so please forgive me if this is redundant info. Truffle-infused oils are meant to be used as a *condiment*, not a cooking oil. They could be added to a salad dressing, for example. In my pre-paleo days I used to drizzle white truffle oil over porcini risotto. **A little goes a long way!** Truffles are so expensive because they are difficult to gather, as they grow completely under the ground. As I understand it, pigs are used to sniff them out. Sometimes the pigs eat them before they can be recovered. I don't know if truffles can be cultivated. Truffle oil is an indulgent, delicious treat that seems perfectly suitable for paleo.
