Truffle oil

Truffle oil is a culinary garnish infused with the aroma and flavor of truffles, a type of rare, aromatic mushroom highly prized in gourmet cooking. It typically contains artificial or natural truffle essence blended with oil, such as olive oil or grapeseed oil. Truffle oil is used to impart a rich, earthy aroma to dishes like pasta, risotto, or eggs. While it offers the flavor of fresh truffles, it is often more affordable and convenient, though some purists prefer real truffles due to the complexity of their aroma. It's a popular way to add a touch of luxury to various dishes.
