Tartufi Morra White Truffle Oil 250ml

Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

Unlike syn­thet­ic truf­fle oil, this white truf­fle oil comes from a unique com­bi­na­tion of excel­lent olive oil and white truf­fles. As expect­ed, the taste is oth­er­world­ly for all truf­fle lovers. You get a rich truf­fle aro­ma com­bined with nut­ty, earthy, gar­lic-like, meaty fla­vor. These vary­ing fla­vors leave your palate, scream­ing in delight and eager for more.

Prepa­ra­tion

The white truf­fle oil is a fin­ish­ing oil and not a cook­ing oil. Apply­ing it as a cook­ing oil will like­ly dull or entire­ly remove the invit­ing scent and tasty tang of your oil. Once you are done cook­ing or serv­ing, you can driz­zle a restrained amount of white oil on your meal and start dig­ging in. You can pair your intox­i­cat­ing drops of white truf­fle oil with a wide vari­ety of pas­ta dish­es, fries, piz­zas, and much more. If you are a fan of pureed food and truf­fle oil, then treat your­self to an unfor­get­table expe­ri­ence com­bin­ing your mashed pota­toes to stuffed eggs with truf­fle oil.

Rich Oil, Rich History

Truf­fle oils came to exis­tence due to the nature of fresh truf­fles. They are sea­son­al and pan out in no time. As way back as the 1980s, truf­fle oils began to make the head­lines. They were cheap­er and last­ed longer than there par­ents, as long as you store them prop­er­ly, most­ly in your refrig­er­a­tor. It is no won­der why arti­fi­cial or syn­thet­ic truf­fle oils came to the mar­ket too with sub­tle names like ​“truf­fle essence” with­out list­ing truf­fle as an actu­al ingre­di­ent. How­ev­er, real truf­fle oil is made from boil­ing fresh truf­fles in olive oil and has con­tin­ued to serve its deli­cious­ness to truf­fle lovers. In Italy, rags are soaked in truf­fle oils (called stru­fion) and used to teach dogs to hunt till date. This tra­di­tion dates way back than the offi­cial intro­duc­tion of the oil in the 80s, as far back as 1756 

Today, truf­fle prod­ucts, more so truf­fle oil, is a cel­e­brat­ed ingre­di­ent and a must-have in every gourmand’s kitchen.
