Chinese Black Truffles: Telling truffles apart

There are two different varieties of truffles that look very much alike: the Chinese black truffle, which is considered very mild and flavor and much less valuable for culinary uses, and the famous Italian black truffle, Tuber melanosporum. Obviously, you don't want to pay Italian black truffle prices for the inferior Chinese product, but it can be difficult to tell them apart. One of the most important cues is odor. The Italian black truffles are much more strongly scented than Tuber himalayensis. However, unscrupulous dealers may try to cheat their customers by mixing the two varieties so that they both smell superficially like the more desirable and more expensive Italian truffle.
