Tasting notes
This oil exhales a complex bouquet: earthy and mineral notes of truffle intertwine with the fruity and slightly peppery nuances of the olive oil. On the palate, the unctuous texture gives way to a persistent umami flavour, subtle and refined. The characteristic woody aroma never dominates; it discreetly enriches each dish with a palpable gastronomic elegance.
How to use it
- Finishing hot dishes: drizzle a few drops over a mushroom soup, a risotto or a root-vegetable cream after cooking
- Seasoning pasta: add to a simple olive-oil sauce with pine nuts and grated Parmesan
- Enhancing fresh cheeses or fresh goat cheese, with a drizzle of honey for the sweet-savoury balance
- Egg dishes: drizzle over an omelette, scrambled eggs or a béarnaise sauce for an extra umami dimension
Why we chose it: It comes from La Chinata, a family company founded in 1932 in Plasencia, Extremadura, now in its fourth generation. Extra virgin olive oil and black truffle (Tuber aestivum), with no additives: a few drops are enough to finish a risotto, scrambled eggs or a mushroom soup.
