Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil high-quality
  • 1 tablespoon fresh truffle winter or 2 tablespoons summer truffle

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Gather all the tools and ingredients.
  • Clean the truffles.

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a small pan to 130° F (55°C).
  • Turn off the heat.
  • Slice or grate the truffle into the oil.
  • Allow to steep for 30 minutes or until the oil has cooled to room temperature.

Notes

PLEASE NOTE: This recipe has a VERY LIMITED shelf life of two to perhaps three days. My recommendation is to use it immediately rather than making it ahead or keeping leftovers.
Go ahead and use this as a finishing oil, a dipping oil for bread or added to a truffle risotto or pasta. 
Want to use it as a salad dressing? That's easy too... and so simple. Lightly coat the salad with the fresh truffle oil and add some coarsely grated Himalayan or Gray Sea Salt. That's it. Delightfully simple and tasty.
