該公司將於下週在紐約對這塊松露進行拍賣，他們將把所拍得的資金用於慈善。

Hunters use trained dogs and pigs to sniff out the rare truffles during themonths of October, November, and December, according to NBC.

Truffles are the most expensive food in theworld with just one pound of a European white truffle selling for thousands ofdollars and a few shavings of a black truffle selling for hundreds ofdollars, CBS news reports.

松露是世界上最貴的食品，一磅的歐洲白松露可賣出幾千美元，而黑松露的切屑就可以賣出幾百美元。

In the past, white truffles have sold for up to $330,000 and this truffle isalmost twice the size of the existing Guinness record holder.

之前，有一塊白松露賣出了33萬美元的高價，而現在的這塊松露是之前這塊吉尼斯世界紀錄保持者的兩倍大。

CBS reports that this expensive delicacyhas brought organized crime into the truffle trade. A black market has beencreated for the truffles leading to the theft of both the truffles and the dogsthat sniff them out.

由於價格昂貴，使得松露交易中出現了有組織的犯罪活動。已經出現了松露黑市，導致松露以及尋找松露的狗被竊取的情況時有發生。
