POP-UP: Truffle & Wild Mushroom Market by Marc Eber

December 18, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

- Free

This event takes place at the CCFE Solutions Salon at CSI Spadina, 192 Spadina Ave., Suite 501

Over the last decade, Marc Eber of Marc’s Mushrooms has become a premiere supplier of wild mushrooms, foraged ingredients and high-quality imported truffles to Toronto’s top restaurant chefs. Once again we are excited to collaborate to bring you our special Holiday Mushroom Pop-Up where Marc sells fresh truffles and wild mushrooms direct to the public at wholesale prices — often more than 60% lower than you will find in retail shops — that is if you can even find these rare products at all!

Notes on fresh truffles: this year has been a scarce season for white truffles; although the quality is still high, the total crop has been very small, which has driven up prices to more than double what they were pre-covid. White “Alba” truffles are among the most expensive foodstuffs in the world, with a current market price of around $4000 USD per pound.

All fresh mushrooms and truffles will be sold on a first-come, first served basis; if you want to ensure availability, place a pre-order by email along with a $20 deposit.

Please RVSP to let us know if you plant to come — this will help us plan the amount of inventory to bring
