Product Description

White truffles are among the world's rarest tubers. These forest gems are found in the area around Alba in northern Italy as well as central Italy in the fall. While white truffles can cost thousands of dollars per pound, you can enjoy the same ethereal taste and aroma in our extra virgin olive oil infused with white truffles. You have our personal assurance of the high quality of these oils. At a recent sampling of our oils, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of American told us that ours was the best she had ever tasted. Use very sparingly over pasta, tomato-based sauces, sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, fine cheeses such as Manchego and goat cheeses. Brush on grilled meats for a unique taste sensation.

JR Mushrooms & Specialties, Inc., has been a provider of outstanding quality dried mushrooms and specialty gourmet products to fine retailers since 1990. Due to the overwhelming positive responses and comments, the company decided to make these products available directly to retail customers.

Customer Reviews

LOVE IT!5
This is an amazing product and we just love it! The quality of the truffle oil is excellent and the customer service at JR mushrooms and specialties is even better. They had accidentally shipped the black truffle oil, and when I contacted them, they were extremely professional and courteous. We received the correct item just 2 days later. They even let us keep the black for the inconvenience. We will definitely buy from them exclusively in the future. Highly recommend!

Actually and sadly, there's no such thing as real truffle oil.1
I too was fooled, but apparently there is no such thing as truffle oil made with truffles. They are all made with a chemical compound. See this article from the New York Times:

Hocus-Pocus, and a Beaker of Truffles

As the article notes, it's not possible to infuse oil with a truffles and ALL oils claiming to be made from truffles aren't. Don't feel too bad, even rather famous chefs fell for the idea. But all of this explains the "one-dimensional flavor" of these oils. One might argue if it tastes good then it doesn't matter. Perhaps, but that doesn't explain why the oils costs so much.

I love this product. I also bought their black truffle oil, which has a different (maybe you could say a little heavier as well) taste altogether. I have used both in risotto and I used this in a mostly morell mushroom soup I made for Christmas. It adds so much flavour, you won't believe it. And pricewhys, it is a fantastic value.
