Il Boschetto Truffle Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Regular price
- $42.00 USD
Italian extra virgin olive oil with summer truffle infusion and flavoring for an earthy finishing touch. Il Boschetto’s truffle oil is especially useful on warm dishes: a few drops over pasta, risotto or eggs add aroma just before serving.
Truffle oil is best used like perfume: a few drops, at the end. I chose Il Boschetto’s for warm pasta, eggs and risotto, where the aroma rises the moment the plate reaches the table.

About Il Boschetto
Il Boschetto works out of Castiglione della Pescaia, on the Maremma coast of Tuscany, making infused oils, vinegars and spice blends the traditional way. This one is 97% extra virgin olive oil with 2% summer truffle — Tuber aestivum, the black summer truffle of central Italy — and 1% flavoring to carry the aroma. A little does a great deal.
How to enjoy
- Drizzle over risotto, pasta and mashed potatoes just before serving
- Finish eggs, mushrooms, pizza or polenta
- Use sparingly with soft cheese or simple soups
Details
- Origin: Maremma, Tuscany, Italy
- Store cool and dark; use within a few months of opening
Ingredients
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (97%), truffle infusion (Tuber Aestivum Vitt) (2%), flavoring (1%).
Questions
Is there real truffle in it? Yes, 2% summer truffle, plus a flavoring to hold the aroma, which is how nearly all truffle oils are made.
How much? Drops, not spoonfuls: a few over the plate at the table. Never heat it.
Best use? Scrambled eggs, a plain risotto, or pappardelle with mushrooms and Parmesan.
Pairs with
L’Épicurien truffle mustard if you are going all the way; the lemon and basil oils for the other nights. Everything we carry from Il Boschetto.
