Ingredients
Method
Prepare the truffle
- Clean the truffle gently and shave or finely grate it.
Infuse
- Warm the olive oil only until tepid—do not fry the truffle.
- Stir in the truffle and a pinch of salt; steep off heat at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Finish
- Strain or leave shavings in for a rustic oil.
- Bottle and label; use as a finishing oil, not a frying medium.
Serving
Drizzle cold over finished dishes; heat dulls the aroma quickly.
Storage
Keep sealed in a cool dark place; use within a few months for best perfume.
