Montosco Truffle Gift Set – La Dolce Vita

Three ways to put truffle on your dishes

A truffle oil opened and then forgotten ends up at the back of the cupboard. This gift set gives you three finishing reflexes: an extra virgin olive oil with truffle, a balsamic vinegar cream with truffle and a truffle salt. It sits on the table at a dinner or can be given as is.

What you will taste

• Texture: a fluid, silky oil, a balsamic cream that coats.
• Aromas: earthy, damp undergrowth, with a balsamic note.
• Taste: round in the mouth, a gentle bitterness in the finish.

How to use it

• The oil as a finish, never for cooking: on scrambled eggs, a burrata or fresh tagliatelle.
• The balsamic cream as a drizzle over a carpaccio, an arugula salad or shavings of Parmigiano.
• The salt on a risotto, a purée or an omelet, at the moment of serving.

Where it comes from

In Italy, truffle goes on as a final touch on simple dishes, pasta, eggs or risotto, rather than in long cooking. This Montosco gift set follows that logic, with three products to keep near the stove.
