What is truffle oil?
Written by Becky
mushroom. This highly prized fungus has been praised as the “diamond of the kitchen.” Over the last few years, America has been embracing truffles and restaurants have been using truffles and truffle oil in their finest dishes.
Truffle oil really exists only because truffles are so expensive and there needed to be way to add the flavor to the food with less cost involved. The difference between a high quality truffle oil and a standard truffle oil can be detrimental to the lasting flavor of the oil. Local Food Writer for City Weekly, Ted Shceffler wrote about the process of making truffle oil in his latest write up, Truffle in Paradise.
This post was inspired by an encounter I had this week with a guy in the truffle making business, Francesco Mazzini. I enjoyed gaining insight on the truffle world from Francesco’s vast knowledge and experience. More than the immense flavor of the truffles that he is bringing into Utah, I enjoyed the zeal and devotion that he displayed, much like the passion of Cristiano Creminelli for Salami or Kendal Sean Russell from Larks Meadow Farms Cheese– two local artisan food producers proud of the way they make a living. The dedication and spirit of the people in the artisan food world is something I’ve found to be inspiring and extraordinary. Urbani truffles, some of the most sough after truffles in the US, are now being sold at Tony Caputo’s along with their high quality truffle oil.
Here are some ideas for how to use truffle oil or truffles:

Weekend Credits
There are so many great cookbooks that came out this summer. Check out this New York Times article about Summer Cookbooks.
Have you heard of Harriott Grace before? I love LOVE this
line of cooking utensils and her whimsical cakes and cake flags. Her cakes inspire me to bake something lovely.
Dining outside in the summer demands a winsome table cloth, don’t you think? This table cloth by House 18810 is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I adore truffle oil on everything from popcorn to French fries to steak! Great post:)
