"Urbani Truffles, an Italian company whose recent chief was once called the King of Truffles, bought a two-story retail condominium in the base of the building and in August started stacking boxes of truffles to the top of its high ceilings.

"The stench it produces bears no resemblance to the delicate scent of truffles dusted over risotto, or the aroma of truffle oil wafting from scrambled eggs. In fact, this smell has so forcefully overtaken the condominium’s lobby that even as the truffle company tries to fix the problem, owners in the building say they are having trouble renting and selling their apartments."

They're a huge company all over the globe and only the thinking-themselves-urbane/worldly New Yorkers have a problem: http://www.dnainfo.com/20101012/uppe...sophistication

The truffles which are a mold dug up from under the ground? Yes that stench is like having 1000 wet towels folded and stored in drawers that have been left to mold & spread their smell throughout a building That is unfortunate for the owners of the apartments The only way they will do away with the smell is to turn the entire area into a sealed refrigerated storage area but that would be very expensive and they would try to avoid it

Greetings,

Hopefully their governmental authorities will come up with a sensable, efficient solution, to which can satisfy all who are affected by such a situation.

Have a good one.
