Truffle Butter I

2 to 4 ounces black or white truffles
1 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
Coarse sea salt or fleur de sel salt

In a small bowl, clean the truffles and grate them into the butter; gently combine the truffle distributing them as evenly as possible. Taste to determine how much truffle you preferred. Season with salt to taste.

On a large piece of plastic wrap, spoon the butter/truffle mixture and form into a log, about 1-inch thick. Wrap the log tightly. May also transfer the butter to a ramekin or crock, and cover securely. Let the flavors blend at room temperature for several hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Serve at room temperature
