Frequently asked questions

How do you use truffle oil?

Truffle oil is best used as a finishing oil, added after cooking rather than during. Drizzle a small amount over pasta, scrambled eggs, chips, risotto, pizza, roasted mushrooms, mashed potato, or sourdough just before serving. It also works well stirred through salad dressings. Start with around half a teaspoon and taste - a little goes a long way.

Should I cook with truffle oil or use it as a finishing oil?

Use it as a finishing oil. High heat reduces the flavour. Add it at the end of cooking or use it cold in dressings. It handles gentle warmth - stirred through hot pasta just before serving, for example.

What do you put black truffle seasoning on?

Almost anything. Scrambled eggs, roast vegetables, chips and fries, pasta, steak, mashed potato, popcorn, avo toast, mac and cheese. (One customer even told us they sprinkle it on vanilla ice cream). Start with whatever you'd normally season and go from there. Some of our favourites: make a slice in a wheel of Brie, sprinkle Truffle Seasoning, close the slice, drizzle honey, add a few sprigs of thyme, and bake for 5-10mins. Enjoy! Sprinkle Truffle Seasoning over potatoes (in any form!) and your meal is instantly elevated...Baked Sweet Potatoes, Roast or Mashed Potatoes or Hot Chips (served with a homemade Truffle Mayo for an even greater truffle flavour). Combine Truffle Seasoning , confit garlic and butter. Whip till it's soft and fluffy. Baste over lobster tails, serve with steak or enjoy with pasta and a glass of vino!

What is the best truffle pasta recipe with truffle oil?

The best truffle pasta recipes keep things simple so the truffle remains the star. Creamy mushroom pasta, truffle mac and cheese, carbonara and parmesan pasta all work beautifully. Prepare the pasta and sauce as usual, then add a light drizzle of truffle oil immediately before serving - high heat can reduce its aroma and flavour.
