Widely revered for their pungent aroma and wonderful flavour truffles are an expensive food. The tuberous fungi found in the ground at the base of certain trees may be ugly and gnarled but are so prized for their flavour they can command high prices.
So for those that perhaps cannot afford fresh truffles, truffle oil is the answer.
Most truffle oils that can be found in supermarkets do not actually contain any truffle at all but a flavouring. There\u2019s nothing wrong in this though as it is difficult to obtain a decent truffle flavour by using the truffles alone. The synthesised substance is still the same thing found in truffles but has been created and is considerably less costly. Besides, the truffles are best reserved to be used fresh.
One truffle oil can vary greatly in taste and quality from another and in our experience some either lack punch or veer to other end of the spectrum having an almost petrol-like aroma \u2013 not good.

Both of these oils are made using extra virgin olive oil so they are perfect for use on pasta and risotto.
The English Truffle Oil<\/b> is all English made with Cotswold cold pressed extra virgin rapeseed oil, English black summer truffles (Tuber Aestivum) hunted in Wiltshire and Somerset, and Truffle Hunter\u2019s own Black Truffle flavour.
As with the Black and White truffle oils the flavour is complex but is softer so this oil lends itself more easily to be used in salad dressings. The rapeseed oil is a beautiful golden colour and also has a different flavour profile to olive oil being nutty in character.
We have been enjoying the oils very much and have discovered just how versatile they are.
