Olive oil condiment flavoured with white truffle from Urbani in a 250 ml bottle, made with olive oil, white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) 0.1% and flavouring.
Urbani White Truffle Oil comes in a tall white box with a photo of a pale truffle, the Urbani Tartufi crest and the line Italian excellence since 1852. One face reads Gocce di Tartufo, condimento aromatizzato al tartufo bianco a base di olio di oliva, and another reads Trüffel Tropfen with the German description. The ingredients are olive oil (EU), white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) 0.1% and aroma (flavouring), and the box gives 250 ml (8 U.S. fl oz). It asks for storage in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. As general background, a truffle is the fruiting body of an underground fungus of the genus Tuber. A flavoured olive oil like this is a finishing condiment: as general practice, chefs add a few drops off the heat, just before serving, so the aroma stays fresh. It suits fresh pasta with butter and parmesan, risotto, fried or scrambled eggs, mashed potato, carpaccio and hot fries. Start with a few drops and taste before adding more.
