The unique flavor and limited production of truffles command a price of up to $900 per pound, depending on the type. A superb way to capture their flavor and extend their use is to make truffle oil by soaking them in olive oil. Truffle oils are generally not used in cooking, as the heat adulterates their flavors. Instead, they are added after a dish is prepared or used in salads and other cold dishes.
This quality truffle oil from De Medici achieves its pungent, woodsy aroma and earthy flavor by balancing the white truffle infusion with the delicate flavor of Ligurian EVOO. This compares favorably to the more commonly available truffle oils made with Umbrian oil, as the more forceful Umbrian extra virgin blocks the truffle flavor while only letting its aroma come through. Add a dash of this important condiment to pasta, risotto, eggs, or just about anything that needs an earthy, perhaps garlicky kick.

Expensive motor oil. Unusable...I know just to use a little... a little ruins everything! [...]

I loved the price of the product. It had a wonderful aroma but the flavor fell flat.

I have tried multiple truffle oils, and all have thus paled in comparison to this bad boy. More potent than a Spanish sailor on dock day, you can not go wrong with this product. Give it a whirl with pea soup and some grated Parmesan.

Hi All,
I bought this to give the finishing touches to soup. I made a veggie root soup and finished it off with a few slices of freshly roasted chicken breast and this oil. It really made a simple dinner special. This oil has a strong smell and should be used sparingly for my household. Hey and I got my teenagers to eat veggie soup yea.
