pouyade Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 My husband bought me a very expensive bottle of the genuine article, in Italy as it happens. Fine. But, what to do with it? Any suggestions as to how to use it to best advantage, please?ThanksPouyade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 never used it myself, but some suggestions here http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/truffle_oilBeware of this bit though; "Use truffle oil as a garnish, especially with eggs or pasta, and only buy it in small quantities as it is very concentrated and perishes quickly once opened" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 At our truffle fair earlier this year we had one of the many truffle lunches on offer. Grated and sliced truffles were in the main courses, but truffle oil was used in the squash soup and sauce anglaise with the light-as-air coffee dessert. So I would imagine a little in any soup etc would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Had this in a restaurant as the cheese course: Fingers of a youngish Parmesan (or a mature Cheddar-like cheese, or Laguiole, Salers, Cantal will do nicely) with a pot containing a mixture of truffle oil and honey (the restaurant had experimented a lot and decided that acacia honey was the best, but bwe have used others with equal success. The procedure is: take a finger of cheese, dip into the truffle oil/honey mix, savour the taste .....sorry, I'm drooling over the keyboard ...RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
