Italian truffle oil: a refined flavour enhancer for pasta and risotto

Truffle oil is a beloved flavour enhancer in Italian cuisine. The combination of olive oil and truffle aroma gives dishes a characteristic, earthy scent and a unique taste experience.

At Kelvini Italian Artisan, you will find Italian extra virgin olive oil with black truffle from Micco Tartufi. Available in bottles of 250 ml and 500 ml, so you can choose which quantity best suits your kitchen.

What do you use truffle oil for?

Truffle oil is particularly effective as a finishing touch. You usually only need a small amount to give a dish extra aroma.

Truffle oil with pasta

Mix freshly cooked tagliatelle or pappardelle with a little olive oil, possibly some pasta water, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Finish the dish just before serving with a few drops of truffle oil.

Truffle oil with risotto

A creamy risotto with mushrooms, butter, and Parmesan cheese makes a delightful base for truffle oil. Add the oil preferably only at the end.

Truffle oil with pizza

A pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms, or burrata gets a particularly aromatic accent with a small amount of truffle oil. Drizzle the oil over the pizza after it comes out of the oven.

Truffle oil with potatoes and vegetables

Roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and sautéed mushrooms also pair excellently with the aroma of black truffle.

Black truffle is valued in Italian cuisine for its earthy, savoury character. Olive oil with black truffle is an accessible way to add this flavour profile to various dishes.

The exact composition of truffle oil varies by producer. Some products contain pieces of truffle, while others derive their characteristic flavour entirely or partially from added aromas. Therefore, always consult the ingredient list on the product page.

Both sizes offer the same culinary application possibilities. Choose mainly based on your consumption.

The secret of Nonna Kelvini

The secret of a delicious truffle pasta often lies in simplicity. Cook good Italian pasta al dente, mix with a bit of pasta water and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and finish just before serving with a small amount of truffle oil.

Start with a few drops and taste. This way, the aroma remains nicely balanced with the other ingredients.
