Gocce di Tartufo from Urbani Tartufi, an olive oil based condiment flavoured with black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) 0.1%, in a 250 ml bottle, for finishing dishes.
Urbani Black Truffle Oil comes in a tall square glass bottle with a gold cap, packed in a black box. The label and box read Gocce di Tartufo, Tuber melanosporum Vitt., with the Urbani Tartufi emblem, Italian excellence since 1852, and condimento a base di olio di oliva aromatizzato al tartufo nero, an olive oil based condiment flavoured with black truffle. Both give 250 ml (8 US fl oz). The box lists olive oil (EU), black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.) 0.1% and aroma, and asks for storage in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. As general background, truffle oil is a culinary ingredient used to impart the flavor and aroma of truffles to a dish, commonly as a finishing oil for fries, pasta, pizzas and puréed foods such as mashed potatoes. Commonly, chefs add a few drops just before serving, never for frying, over pasta, risotto, eggs, carpaccio and mashed potatoes.
