Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml High-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 10 g Fresh black truffle (or white truffle, if preferred)
- 2 g Coarse sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Clean the fresh truffle carefully by gently brushing off dirt with a soft brush or wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking it in water to preserve its flavor.
Use a microplane or truffle shaver to finely grate or slice the truffle into thin pieces, ensuring the aroma and flavor blend well with the olive oil.
Pour the olive oil into a sterilized glass bottle or jar with an airtight seal.
Add the grated or thinly sliced truffles to the bottle, ensuring they are fully submerged in the olive oil to enhance infusion.
Optional: Add a pinch of coarse sea salt to subtly enhance the flavor.
Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 7–10 days, shaking the bottle gently every 2–3 days to distribute the truffle essence evenly.
Once infused, the truffle olive oil is ready to use. Store it in the refrigerator to extend shelf life, and use within 1 month.
