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.

They were cheaper and lasted longer than there parents, as long as you store them properly, mostly in your refrigerator.

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
