Truffle Oil "Tartufo Nero" - Fam

Truffle oil is a bit of a controversial thing. First and foremost, we have to acknowledge that truffle oil can never contain real truffle, as truffle is not oil-soluble. Now you know! When we started the pizzeria, at least we didn't know much about this...

We don't really know what to say, except that out of all the truffle oils we've tried, we like this one the most. Like everything else, we've experimented to get this right.

On our mushroom pizza, we mix in our regular olive oil with 20% of this, which doesn't give a super strong flavor, but a nice touch. This is something we could never change because our regular customers would go crazy. Our mushroom pizza is by far our most popular pizza, even though it contains something as controversial as truffle oil.

We don't care about the controversy and just keep going. Then, if you're curious, we also firmly believe that many dishes that claim to have real truffle only use flavor enhancers like this one. This is our little observation anyway.
