Did you know that the truffle is a tube mushroom that grows under the earth and is always bound to the tree root of its host tree or truffle tree? Truly noble truffles are regarded as delicacies because of their unique taste. Because the mushrooms are very rare, their price is correspondingly high. They are searched by the truffle master and a truffle dog or pig. Once the animal has sniffed the tube mushroom with its nose and begins to dig, the truffle master quickly intervenes to gently harvest the valuable mushroom. Despite the extremely good and perfectly trained sense of smell of the animal, truffle dogs can often not find more than 300 grams of black or 80 grams of white truffles with good yield on the day.

Truffle olive oil in accordance with nature
Our truffle olive oil manufacturers not only pay attention to the freshness and quality of their ingredients, but also place great emphasis on environmentally and animal-friendly harvesting methods. Thus, the truffles, whose essence is added to the high-quality olive oil vir genes, always originate from breeding. A predatory construction on nature is thus excluded.
The Italian truffles are harvested by hand in order not to disregard an environmental criterion. Of course, the truffle masters are always concerned with animal welfare and no animal is harmed in the truffle hunt. The mushrooms are therefore all vegan, because truffle dogs or truffle pigs are neither exploited during the truffle hunt, nor are they somehow affected. Truffle dogs are trained to make their search fun. Many breaks are given to them and after each find the animal receives a reward.
So that even after the harvest new mushrooms can grow again, the truffle master gently excavates the tube mushroom. He cares not to hurt the fine roots and then pushes the resulting hole back with some earth.
How to use truffle oil
Truffle olive oil is by no means a food of daily use, but a delicacies. It is therefore not suitable for brazing, baking or grilling. Truffle olive oil should be used exclusively for the refinement of your dishes. In principle, it is only after cooking to be bought over the finished food. Depending on which oil you choose, it fits to different dishes.
Truffle olive oil with the essence of the black truffle is relatively heat resistant and can refine both hot and cold dishes. It is ideal for refining sauces to fish or to make-up roast.
Truffle olive oil with the essence of white truffle should not drink on boiling hot dishes. Let the pasta dishes, a real Italian risotto or even the scrambled eggs to the luxury breakfast first cool a little before you give it the final touch with the gourmet oil.
