Black Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil: the finishing touch of Italian cuisine

It is a raw-use seasoning for risotto, fresh pasta, carpaccio, eggs, mashed potatoes and grilled meats, delivering the intense, earthy scent of truffle in a few drops. Shelf life is 18 months at ambient temperature, with no cold chain required.
What is truffle-flavoured olive oil
Truffle oil is one of the most recognisable signatures of contemporary Italian gastronomy: a high-quality extra virgin olive oil base carrying the unmistakable woody, garlicky and earthy notes of truffle. In this product the aroma profile is built on extra virgin olive oil (99%) plus a truffle aroma, the most stable and consistent way to bring the truffle scent to a professional kitchen all year round, well beyond the short fresh-truffle season. It is a condiment to be used raw, never heated, exactly as chefs use the precious fresh tuber.
Origin and the brand
Team Tartufi is a Milan-based truffle house (Viale Forlanini 23, 20134 Milan), founded by a group of young entrepreneurs drawing on two decades of experience in the truffle trade. The company selects, processes and distributes a full line of truffle specialities, from fresh tubers to sauces, butter, honey, salt and oils. The extra virgin olive oil base of this product is Italian, in line with the great Italian oil tradition.
Sensory profile
The colour is a bright golden green typical of extra virgin olive oil. On the nose the truffle aroma is immediate, deep and persistent, with the classic earthy, mushroomy and slightly garlicky character of black truffle. On the palate the smooth extra virgin olive oil carries the truffle note without bitterness, leaving a long, elegant aromatic finish. A few drops are enough to perfume an entire dish.
Professional uses in the kitchen
- Risotto: finish a Carnaroli risotto off the heat with a drizzle, after mantecatura with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano (about 5 g of oil per portion).
- Fresh pasta: tagliolini, tajarin or ravioli simply dressed with butter and a few drops of truffle oil for a classic Piedmontese-style finish.
- Eggs: fried eggs, soft scrambled eggs or a baked egg cocotte lifted by a final drizzle.
- Carpaccio and tartare: beef carpaccio, raw fillet or fish tartare seasoned just before serving.
- Mash, soups and grilled vegetables: potato puree, velvety soups, grilled porcini or a simple bruschetta, all enhanced with a raw drizzle at the pass.
How to use it correctly
Always add the oil raw, at the very end, directly on the plate: heat dissipates the aroma above roughly 60 degrees and the truffle scent is lost. Use it sparingly, a few drops at a time, so the truffle complements rather than covers the dish. Keep the bottle closed away from light and heat to preserve the aroma intensity over time.
