The only time we used truffle-flavored oil is when we put a swirl into a vegetable soup like one made of cauliflower, zucchini, etc. The real black truffle we use for scrambled eggs (half teaspoon truffle with 6 eggs) has an unbelievably long finish. I can taste it for 3 - 4 hours afterwards.<br /><br />Interestingly enough we just finished off a 80 gram bottle today and we have not disposed of the bottle yet. The scent is so heavenly that we are keeping the empty bottle in the fridge for a few days and still sniffing it whenever we pass by!<br />Steve Shipleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747967826685493423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8973570872300606112.post-61475251148201908152013-10-25T17:39:46.098-07:002013-10-25T17:39:46.098-07:00Re truffle oil: People need to be aware that comme...Re truffle oil: People need to be aware that commercial bottled truffle oil may NOT be flavoured with genuine truffles. Due to the fine print on most little labels you can miss the bit saying "simulated truffle flavour" or whatever. Everyone needs to put on the reading glasses and get real with truffle oil, even when buying it from a truffle store in Italy or France. I did OK in France but was fooled in Norcia, Italy. The real truffle has a longer flavour than the fake.Murfomurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975382358013125434noreply@blogger.com
